Identity Verification
Know exactly who is signing. Confirm a signer's identity with a government-issued photo ID and a live selfie match before they put pen to paper - all inside the AirSign signing flow.

Confidence That the Right Person Signed
For high-value and sensitive documents, an email address is not always enough. Identity verification adds a layer of certainty - the signer photographs their government-issued ID and takes a live selfie, and our verification technology checks the document is genuine and that the face matches the person holding it. Only then can they sign.
Government ID Check
The signer captures a driver's licence or passport, and the document is checked for authenticity with key details read directly from the ID.
Biometric Selfie Match
A live selfie is compared against the photo on the ID, confirming the person signing is the genuine document holder - not someone who simply has a copy.
How It Works
Require Verification
Switch on identity verification for a document or signer when you need proof of who is signing.
Signer Verifies
Before signing, the signer photographs their ID and takes a quick selfie from any phone or computer.
Identity Confirmed
The ID is checked for authenticity and matched to the selfie, usually in under a minute.
Signing Proceeds
Once verified, the signer continues to sign, and the verified result is recorded against the document.
When You Need It
Property & Conveyancing
Confirm the identity of buyers, sellers, and tenants on contracts, leases, and transfer documents.
Legal & Deeds
Add identity assurance to statutory declarations, deeds, powers of attorney, and other sensitive agreements.
Finance & Onboarding
Verify clients on loan documents, account openings, and new-client onboarding where proof of identity matters.
Why It Matters
Reduce Fraud
Make it far harder for someone to sign in another person's name on documents that carry real risk.
Stronger Audit Trail
The verified result is captured alongside the signing record, strengthening non-repudiation if a signature is challenged.
Low Friction
No apps to install. Signers verify from the same device they are signing on, in about a minute.
Only When You Need It
Apply verification to the documents that warrant it, and keep everyday signing fast and simple.
