Managing verification groups

ℹ️ The new version of Signi verification will be released to production during September 2026. Until then, the screens in the app may differ slightly from the description.

A verification group defines how the counterparty must prove their identity — it's a set of checks (components) that the verified person goes through. You can have multiple groups and pick the right one for each verification: stricter for high-value contracts, simpler for everyday documents.

You manage groups in Workspace settings → Verification groups.

Creating a group

Click Create verification group and fill in:

• Verification group name — you'll see the group under this name both when creating a document and in the verification history.
• AML — check this if the group is meant for AML-level verification. Signi then handles the verification data according to stricter data-retention rules (see Verification record and data retention).
• Active group — only active groups are offered when setting up a verification. An inactive group stays saved but won't be used.
• Components — tick the checks the verified person must go through (each described in the article Verification components). Some have conditions: liveness only works together with a document, and the sanctions list check requires BankID or a document.
• Verification validity (days) — how long an approved verification stays valid (1–1825 days). During that time, Signi will reuse it for other documents.
• Automatically add when creating a document — the group is pre-filled for every counterparty on new documents.

Save.

Editing and deleting

Each group in the list has preview, edit (gear icon) and delete icons.

Caution: changing the group's composition (adding or removing a component) ends the validity of all currently valid verifications in this group. Counterparties who had completed their verification will go through it again. If you want to change the checks, consider creating a new group instead of editing the old one.

Verification settings for the whole workspace

Below the list of groups is the Verification settings block:

• Re-verification threshold (days) — how many days before validity expires Signi requests a new verification instead of using the existing one (0–1825 days; 0 = verification is always enforced, even if a valid one exists).
• Default verification validity (days) — the validity used where a group doesn't have its own (1–1825 days).

How many groups you can have

Above the list you'll see a counter Active groups: X / Y — Y is the limit of active groups for your workspace.
