### FAQs
#### What is OneID?
OneID is Certn’s identity verification check that uses biometric facial recognition technology to verify someone’s identity instantly. It works by matching a person’s government-issued ID document with a real-time selfie.

#### What shows up in an ID verification check?
OneID returns a confirmation that applicants are who they say they are in the background check. OneID uses facial recognition to match a selfie in real-time with identification documents. The report will confirm the name, date of birth, address, document type, issuing country, and expiry date of their identification documents.

#### What do I need to run an ID verification check?
All you need to request a OneID verification is a person’s name and email address. Candidates just need to access a mobile phone or desktop computer’s camera and have one piece of identification, such as a passport or driver’s license ready.

#### What is the process?
