Remote identity verification has become a foundational requirement for accessing public services, benefits and other regulated transactions.

But when users struggle with mobile technology, identity document capture or biometric steps, self-service verification can become a barrier to completion. Assisted identity verification helps bridge this gap by giving call center agents near real-time visibility into a user’s verification journey so they can guide users through the process while the user completes required steps on their own device.

Where Self-Service Verification Can Break Down

Self-service identity verification can streamline access to services, but it doesn't always account for the challenges users face during document and biometric verification. When users encounter obstacles, agencies and organizations may experience increased call volumes, longer handle times, repeat verification attempts and delays in service delivery.

Common challenges include:

• Limited visibility into where users encounter difficulties during verification
• Challenges assessing document quality before submission
• Difficulty providing guidance while preserving user privacy and security
• Inefficient workflows when verification attempts fail

Bridging the Gap Between Self-Service and Live Support
