# Verify identities

The Identity Verification solution enables you to verify the identity of a person applying to use your services.
This helps you meet compliance requirements and reduce the risk of fraud.

The applicant captures video of their ID document and face.
Checkout.com checks if the document is genuine and matches the person in the video, and shares the result and a full report.
