What Is Identity Verification?
Add identity verification layers to your signing workflows to confirm that the person signing is who they claim to be. BoloSign supports email verification (default), SMS-based one-time passcodes, access codes that you define, and photo ID verification for high-security transactions. Multiple verification methods can be combined for multi-factor authentication.
How Does Identity Verification Work?
When configuring a document for signing, select the verification method for each signer: email link (default - signer receives unique URL), SMS OTP (one-time passcode sent to phone), access code (you define a code and share it separately), or photo ID (signer uploads government-issued ID). Each verification event is recorded in the audit trail.
How Teams Use Identity Verification
High-value contracts requiring identity confirmation
Financial services KYC and compliance requirements
Healthcare consent where signer identity is critical
Real estate transactions with identity verification mandates
Insurance policy issuance requiring verified identity
Why BoloSign's Identity Verification Is Different
SignNow charges ~$2/use for KBA. DocuSign charges for advanced identity verification. BoloSign includes email and access code verification at no extra cost.
