• Take Action: Based on the verification results, take appropriate action (e.g., approve, require additional information, deny submission) to ensure the integrity of your process.

Integrating ID verification with Cognito Forms via IdentityCheck and Zapier not only enhances security but also streamlines your workflows. By setting it up correctly and knowing how to use it, you ensure that only verified individuals can proceed, thereby safeguarding your operations.
