Accelerate onboarding
Not all industries are required to verify government-issued documents. When a non-document approach makes sense, Shufti Electronic Identity Verification (eIDV) supports passive authentication by verifying a user’s identity in the background using government databases, utilities, telecoms and other data sources. Need to offer active verification? Shufti can also direct users to their digital ID provider platform to supply credentials. Boost pass rates with eIDV for proof-of-address, an easy-to-use option for consumers, or as a fallback when consumers cannot provide original documents like utility bills.
Prevent synthetic fraud
Synthetic identities are created using a mix of real and fabricated identity attributes. To fight back, organizations can use alternative data sources to accurately validate suspected synthetic identities. By verifying user data against sources such as government databases, postal services, utilities, credit bureaus and telecom providers, Shufti eIDV identifies inconsistencies in a user’s enrollment data and flags potentially fraudulent accounts. Our 2+2 verification process cross references user information against at least two independent data sources to ensure robust identity confirmation and KYC compliance.


Efficiently verify global customers
Shufti eIDV’s non-document verification can enhance KYC compliance and simplify onboarding. By supporting more than 60 countries, Shufti leads the industry in global coverage for non-document verification. While eIDV offers access to hundreds of databases across the world, Shufti’s single, unified API supports the integration of data sources and digital ID services used in all of the covered countries so your organization can support strong identity verification.
Create tailored user journeys
Using a combination of document-based and eIDV checks, organizations can achieve a 2+2 standard with highly secure data sources. With Shufti’s Journey Builder, seamlessly reduce complexity and integration burden, and add in AML checks for a complete solution that supports regulations such as JMLSG.

Shufti eIDV Supports Two Approaches
Passive eIDV
Passive eIDV checks hundreds of data sources.
- 1. Improve KYC onboarding when document verification is not initially required
- 2. Provide proof-of-address to meet AML onboarding requirements without the burden of a higher friction document verification based address check
- 3. To "repair" a document verification journey when the proof of address isn't provided correctly
- 4. Protect against synthetic fraud attacks
Active eIDV
Active eIDV (e.g. UK Open Banking or India's AAdhaar via Digilocker) offers a one-stop ID offering to support the Passive ID use cases plus:
- 1. Proof that the person is who they claim to be, by the act of logging into the database to provide access ("authentication")
- 2. When ID services can provide an image of the consumer's face a highly secure ID check is made using only a facial liveness check
What makes Shufti eIDV different?
- Unmatched global coverage with support for more than 60 countries and their respective government and non-government databases and digital ID services, with more added every month
