Verify identity and screen for AML in one click.

IdentityCheck runs inside the software your team already uses. Send a check from the client record, your client completes it on their phone, and the result writes straight back. No portal, no rekeying, no chasing.

What it does

The check goes out from where you already work.

No new system for your team to learn and no new tab to live in. IdentityCheck sits inside your practice software, your CRM or your document manager, and does three things.

Verify the person

Government-issued photo ID plus a liveness-checked selfie. Over 12,500 document types from 230+ countries and territories, read in 50 languages and dialects.

Verify the entity

Business verification for companies, trusts and SMSFs, with beneficial owners registry-verified in Australia. Proof of address where you need it.

Screen for AML

Politically exposed persons, sanctions lists and adverse media, run on every party including directors and beneficial owners.

Questions

Common questions about KYC and IdentityCheck.

What is a KYC check?

KYC means know your customer. It is the check that a client is who they say they are, made against a government-issued ID document before you act for them. Under Australia's AML/CTF rules, including the Tranche 2 reforms from 1 July 2026, accountants, lawyers and real estate agents must do it for new clients.

How does a KYC check work in IdentityCheck?

You start the check from the client record in your practice software, CRM or document manager. Your client gets a branded email or SMS link, photographs their ID and takes a selfie on their phone. A link to the result, with the outcome and status, is written back to the client record. By default no personal details are; see what goes back to your CRM.

What ID documents are accepted?

Over 12,500 document types, including passports, driver licences, national ID cards and residence permits, from 230+ countries and territories, read in 50 languages and dialects.

How does identity verification work?

The ID document is checked for signs of tampering and its details are read automatically. The selfie is matched to the photo on the document, and a liveness check confirms a real person is in front of the camera. 95% of clients are verified first time.

Does IdentityCheck meet AML/CTF compliance requirements?

IdentityCheck runs the customer identification and screening steps of your AML/CTF program and keeps the record of each check. Your program and your risk assessment stay your responsibility. Our security and certifications are on the Security page, and our regulation guides cover what the rules ask of you, including Tranche 2.

How are biometrics used in KYC?

The selfie your client takes is compared with the photo on their ID document to confirm they are the same person. The liveness check confirms the selfie is a live person rather than a photo or a recording, which stops someone using another person's document.

Do you screen for PEP, sanctions and adverse media?

Yes. Once identity is verified, the client's full legal name and date of birth are screened against politically exposed persons and sanctions lists and for adverse media. For a company or trust, directors and beneficial owners are screened too. Possible matches are flagged on the client record. Screening draws on your plan's credit; see Pricing.
