Frequently asked questions
How does identity verification work?
It verifies an international government-issued photo ID, then uses biometric technology to match the photo to a selfie taken at the time.
What if we need checks beyond these?
Submittable's professional services team can set up more, like matching collected data against third-party databases or adding automations.
