Verification Components

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 component is one specific check that the verified person goes through. You build verification groups from components. Here's an overview of what each one verifies and what the verified person does.

ID document

The verified person photographs their identity document (ID card, passport…). In cooperation with our partner iDenfy, Signi verifies the document (authenticity, security features, legibility) and extracts data from it: first and last name, date of birth, document number and validity, nationality, and, for Czech documents, the birth number. You then see this data during the verification review next to the data from the contact — including an alert when the name doesn't match. For documents you can specify which documents you allow the counterparty to upload (for example, only an ID card). You can also choose to require uploading two documents. The second document serves as supporting evidence; we don't extract data from it.

Liveness + Selfie

The verified person takes a selfie and, with a short movement in front of the camera, proves they are a live person (not a photo or video). The selfie is compared with the photo on the document. Liveness is always part of document verification — it cannot be enabled on its own.

BankID

The verified person logs in to their bank (bank identity) and the bank passes their verified data to Signi. The fastest route for anyone who has Czech internet banking. Requires BankID to be enabled in the workspace; if you don't have it, contact us at care@signi.com.

Verification micropayment

The verified person sends a symbolic payment from their bank account (via QR payment); a match between the account holder and the verified person confirms their identity. Requires a configured account for receiving micropayments in the workspace (Workspace settings → Identification of persons → Payment method).

Questionnaire

The verified person confirms a statement that you set up — e.g. agreement with terms, an affidavit about the origin of funds, or other text required by your process. For this component you set the questionnaire text, the checkbox text and the button text, in each language in which you verify (Add language). The Required option determines whether it's possible to continue without consent.

Sanctions list check

Signi screens the verified person against sanctions lists and lists of politically exposed persons (PEP check). Requires BankID or ID document in the same group — the check needs a verified name and date of birth.

Typical combinations

You can offer the verified person two groups at once (e.g. BankID, or ID document + selfie) — they choose which route to take.
