How to complete your verification

A step-by-step guide through the aIDentix verification process — fast, secure, and straightforward.

🚀

Getting started

What to expect before you begin

1

Review the steps ahead

When you open the verification link, the app shows you a summary of all steps you'll complete: scanning your document, recording a short video, and filling out a questionnaire. Make sure you have your ID document, a stable internet connection, and are in a well-lit space.

Start screen showing the steps overview Steps overview

Agree to terms & conditions

Before proceeding, you must review and agree to the aIDentix Privacy Policy, Terms of Service for End Users, and the Processing of Biometric Data and Automated Decision-Making policy. Read each document, tick the checkbox to confirm, then tap I Agree.

Note: The I Agree button is only active once the checkbox is ticked. Tapping I Disagree will cancel the process and no data will be collected.

Step — Document verification

Scan both sides of your ID card or data page of your passport

1

Read the capture guidelines

The app displays tips for a successful scan. Follow these before tapping Start:

  • Use a dark and uniform background
  • Avoid any reflections on your ID
  • Ensure your ID is fully within the frame and not obstructed
  • Keep your ID sharp and in focus
  • Use moderate lighting — not too bright, not too dim
☀️
Use natural or diffused light

Daylight near a window works best. Avoid direct overhead light that creates harsh shadows.

🖤
Dark, matte background

Place your ID on a dark desk or cloth with no patterns. This gives the app strong contrast to detect the edges.

📐
Hold parallel to the document

Keep your phone flat and directly above the ID — not tilted. Angled shots distort text and edges.

🤚
Stay still for the capture

Hold your breath for a moment and keep your hand steady. Even a small shake causes blur.

🔦
Avoid flash and glare

Laminated IDs reflect light strongly. If you see a white patch on the preview, shift the angle slightly.

Don't cover any part of the ID

Fingers over corners or edges prevent the app from reading the full document.

Allow camera access

Before scanning, aIDentix needs access to your device camera. When prompted, tap Allow. If you previously denied permission, a "Missing camera" screen will appear — tap Allow Access, grant permission in your device settings, then return to the app.

Missing camera — allow access screen Camera not granted
iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera → toggle on.
Android: Settings → Apps → browser/app → Permissions → Camera → Allow.

Scan the front side

Place the front side of your ID card or passport within the on-screen rectangle. Hold your phone steady — the app will capture the image automatically when the document is correctly positioned.

Confirm the image quality

Once captured, the app asks: "Is the document readable?" Check that the image is free of glare, legible, and not blurry. If it looks good, tap Yes. If not, tap No to retake.

5

Scan the back side

Flip your ID card and place the back side within the rectangle. The process is the same — hold steady and let the app capture automatically.

Confirm the back image quality

Confirm that the back image is also clear and legible. Tap Yes to proceed.

Document processing

The app extracts and verifies the information from your document. This takes only a few moments — please keep the app open.

Result — success or retry

If the document is verified successfully, the process advances to the next step automatically. If the scan fails, you'll see an error screen with a checklist — tap Retry to scan again following the tips shown.

If repeated retries fail, check your lighting and background. Persistent issues may be caused by a damaged or heavily worn document.

Step — Liveness check

A short video to confirm you are present in person

1

Read the video verification instructions

The app explains that liveness verification confirms no one is impersonating you. Before starting, follow these rules:

  • Hold the phone at eye level
  • Keep your face within the oval on screen
  • Follow the movement instructions that appear
💡
Good, even lighting on your face

Face a light source (a window or lamp in front of you). Avoid backlit rooms where your face appears dark.

📱
Hold the phone at eye level

Keep your elbow slightly bent and your arm steady. Resting it against a surface helps reduce shake.

🐢
Move slowly and deliberately

Smooth, controlled movements are detected much more reliably than quick ones. Take your time.

🕶️
Remove glasses, hats, and masks

Any accessory that covers part of your face may prevent the system from completing the check.

🌑
Avoid dark or cluttered backgrounds

A plain, well-lit background helps the app isolate your face correctly.

🚶
Don't move around while recording

Stay seated or stand still. Walking or swaying makes the check harder to complete.

Position your face

When you tap Start, the camera opens with an oval guide on screen. Position your face so it fits naturally inside the oval. The app may ask you to return to a neutral position first.

3

Follow the on-screen movement instructions

The app will guide you through a series of movements. Instructions appear as text and arrows in real time. Typical movements include:

Look left

Slowly turn your head to the left

Look right

Slowly turn your head to the right

Look up

Tilt your head upward slightly

Look down

Tilt your head downward slightly

🙂 Face forward

Return to the neutral starting position

How to know a step is complete: The oval outline turns green when each movement is successfully detected. Hold each position for a moment until you see green before moving to the next.

Liveness verification processing

Once all movements are complete, the app processes the video. This is automatic and takes only a few seconds. The process then advances to the next step.

Step — Questionnaire

Provide additional information to meet regulatory requirements

Answer all sections

Questions are grouped into sections (for example, Employment and profession). Depending on the process configured for you, you may encounter four types of questions:

Dropdown

Tap the field and select one option from a list.

Radio (single choice)

Choose one answer from a set of visible options.

Multi-select

Choose one or more applicable answers.

Text input

Type a value directly into the field.

Tip: A progress bar at the top shows how far along you are. Tap Next after each section to advance.

What happens at the end of the process

Once all steps are complete, the app displays the outcome of your verification request.

Verified successfully

You'll see a confirmation screen with a green checkmark and a "Thank you!" message. Your identity has been confirmed and the process is complete.

Verification unsuccessful

If the request could not be approved, you'll see an error screen. Contact the organization that sent you the verification link for next steps.

Cancelling & withdrawing consent

You can stop at any time

⚠️

You can leave at any point

A Cancel button appears on most screens throughout the process. Tapping it will ask for confirmation before ending the session.

1

Tap Cancel on any screen

Whenever a Cancel button is visible, tapping it will bring up a confirmation screen asking: "Are you sure you want to leave?" It informs you that all information entered so far will be deleted. Tap Yes, I am sure to exit, or No, go back to continue your verification.

Leave-confirmation screen Leave confirmation
2

Withdraw your consent

If you wish to withdraw the consent you gave at the start, tap the Looking to withdraw your consent? link at the bottom of the cancel screen. A dialog will confirm that all your personal and biometric data collected will be deleted in accordance with the aIDentix Privacy Policy, Terms of Service for End Users, and the Biometric Data Processing policy.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them

!

System temporarily unavailable

If you see a "Temporarily Unavailable" screen, the aIDentix service is momentarily down. Tap Try Again after a short wait. If the issue persists, try reopening the verification link or contact the organisation that sent it to you.

Temporarily unavailable screen System unavailable
!

Document scan keeps failing

Ensure you are in a well-lit room (natural light works best), using a dark, non-reflective surface as background. Clean the camera lens and hold the phone parallel to the document — avoid tilting. If your ID is laminated, reduce the glare by adjusting the angle slightly.

!

Liveness check not progressing

Move slowly and deliberately — fast movements are not detected reliably. Ensure your face is well-lit and fully visible (no hat, sunglasses, or mask). Hold each position until the oval turns green before continuing to the next movement.

!

Poor or unstable internet connection

aIDentix requires a stable internet connection to process your document and liveness check. If the process stalls or fails unexpectedly, check your connection — switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi or vice versa, move closer to your router, and try again. Avoid starting the verification in areas with weak signal.

!

Outdated operating system

Running an older version of iOS or Android may cause compatibility issues with the camera or the verification process. Make sure your device is up to date before starting.
iPhone: Settings → General → Software Update.
Android: Settings → System → System update.

!

None of the above worked?

If you've tried all the steps above and the issue persists, please contact the organisation that initiated your verification. They will be able to assist you further or provide an alternative way to complete the process.
