About and before an identity validation
Answers to the most common questions about the process, time required, and results.
An identity validation ensures that an individual is the person they claim to be and that the ID documents proving this are genuine and valid.
The identity validation takes place during a meeting between Sistec and the person undergoing the validation. During the meeting, the authenticity of the presented ID documents is checked. The check includes both a visual inspection of the ID documents and an electronic verification of security features and any signs of manipulation. A comparison is also made between the photograph on the ID document and the person being checked to ensure the individual is the person they claim to be.
Fake ID documents are very well-made today. A physical meeting is therefore required to ensure that the presented documents are genuine.
You will receive an email from Sistec with a link to book a time and place for the identity validation.
