Confirming and regularly checking foreign employee visa status is a tedious, repetitive, and time consuming task

IDV Pacific has built a fully automated Australian visa checking tool which requires NO MANUAL DATA INPUT, saving time and money and eliminating manual errors

  • Confirms visa status and all relevant visa details within seconds
  • No manual data entry required. Scan passport onsite, or upload passport image via our web portal.
  • No VEVO account activation required
In addition to automated visa checking, IDV Pacific’s border control standard identity validation capabilities provide our customers with a much more robust ID validation capability than most of our competitors
  • Can be done via onsite desktop scanner; via our mobile phone /tablet apps; or by using our web portal solution
  • Substantially reduces the time taken to validate identity documents making compulsory ID validation realistically achievable

Pre-employment Screening

Increasingly HR departments are taking the lead on the selection and recruitment of employees. Whether they commission a third party to conduct verification checks or carry them out in-house, HR personnel must have a sound understanding of pre-employment screening procedure and adequate document verification.

It’s not safe to assume necessary eligibility vetting has been done when engaging employees through an agency. Agencies are not obliged to do employment eligibility checks if they are merely putting forward candidates.

Possible large fines

If mandatory checks are not completed and it later transpires that an employee has been inappropriately employed, the fall-out can range from a serious inconvenience to hefty fines from government agencies.

Far-reaching implications

Often, false documents can be just the tip of the iceberg. Consider that if an applicant is attempting to present falsified documents, they are more likely to be involved in other criminal activities.

It is relatively easy to check a prospective employee’s references and work history, qualifications, credit history and even criminal record. Still, there is little point unless you have first verified the personal identity of the applicant.

Larger employers need robust systems

In large organisations with branches around the country, it is a challenge to standardise procedures, training and centralise record-keeping.

Without rigorous processes and a watertight audit trail, someone within your organisation could choose to turn a blind eye to suspect documents when engaging new staff.

Technology can help

Our document scanner, driven by the latest software, is capable of verifying hundreds of different types of documents including passports, visas and international driving licences.

Far more effective than the human eye at detecting sophisticated fraud, a scanner is a cost-effective solution for adoption by every outpost of the organisation.

Requiring very little training, a desktop scanner will provide instant results, a secure audit trail and legal compliance.

International student and staff visa status checks

Universities can verify the identity and on-board staff and students in a quick and cost-effective manner with document validation and automated Visa status checking.

Study visas can be verified by:

  1. Check online using our web-based tool accessible through any browser on any PC, Mac, tablet or ‘phone. The visa status is retrieved from the Department of Home Affairs VEVO database by submitting passport details either manually or by submitting an image of the front page of students’ passports. In the case of submitting a passport image, the passport can (optionally) be validated as part of the process. Results are returned as a PDF audit report.
  2. To do multiple concurrent checks, queries can be submitted using our secure file transfer utility. This allows up to 5,000 checks per day in batch processing mode by submitting either a file of subject passport data (CSV or Excel format) extracted from student records or a folder of passport images. Results are returned as a CSV or Excel file and optionally an audit PDF report for each subject. Where passport images are submitted, the passport can be optionally validated as part of the process.
  3. Using our API, both data and image queries can be initiated from your legacy system. This is a white-labelled solution where automated VEVO checks can be performed without interrupting existing workflows. This solution requires code modifications to your legacy system.

Any of the above solutions can be used to validate staff work status credentials

Overview of identity validation for Financial Institutions

The majority of “identity validation” providers actually validate nothing. Most just capture an image of an identity document and automate the workflow involved in capturing and storing this data.

IDV uses the ICAO methodology (International Civil Aviation Organisation – responsible for the standards for passport design and manufacture). This methodology is primarily used by border control agencies to identify false and altered identity documents.

Unless every “agent”, (or in a bank’s case bank teller), responsible for checking identity documents is a trained forensic document expert, then the organisation effectively does not know who it’s customers are. They are simply “matching” the photo on an apparent identity document with the person producing it. If the “teller” thinks the person matches the photo on the document, the account will be opened.

A research study by an Australian University shows the ability of human beings to see another human being IN PERSON and to accurately determine whether they are the person whose face appears in the photo on an identity document which they show is 50%.

“Certified” copies of identity documents are also of limited value unless the certifying official is a fully trained forensic document expert.

IDV Pacific has a range of identity validation services providing numerous discrete or integrated benefits to the finance sector

HR / Staff validation

Our Desktop, Cloud, Mobile, and “Live Selfie” technologies are all well suited for use by single or multiple authorised officers of financial institutions to validate the identity of staff, visitors, contractors and any other people working or visiting branch locations

Branch-based account opening and AML, KYC

Our Desktop and Cloud solutions are well suited to location-based validation of customer identity where the customer presents in person with documents. Mobile (including “Live Selfie”) solutions may also be used although we don’t consider this their optimal use

Paperless Customer Acquisition

All data captured by our Desktop and Cloud solutions can be automatically transferred to populate the organisation’s legacy customer acquisition system. As an example, we believe that if a customer’s passport and driving licence are captured then only the phone number and email address need to be entered manually into the initial account opening file

Remote ID validation (account opening, AML, KYC)

Mobile, Cloud, and in particular “Live Selfie” solutions are suited to remote ID validation carried out by an applicant who does not visit a branch

“Enable” compliant third-party origination

Requiring third-party originators to utilise IDV technology enables financial institutions to be certain that their origination standards are being met. Solutions can be configured to provide clients with reports confirming that auditable, required checks have been completed to requirements

Branch Security

IDV can provide “public” space facial recognition-based security for branch locations

This technology also enables automatic identification of a customer upon entrance to a branch enabling personalised service to be provided by staff without the client having to identify themselves

Automatically check applicant against an external database

Can be done via auto facial recognition capture and check, or by checking document details against an external database

Quick and easy identity checks to prevent fraud in the public sector

Local authorities are subject increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts. False identity documents are used to attempt to access public sector funded services and benefits fraudulently. Fraudulent claims damage the reputation of organisations and undermine trust in public services.

Our systems help public sector bodies to scan and validate driving licences, ID cards, and visas in just a few seconds to help detect fraud before it happens.

Key benefits of electronic identity validation in the Public Sector:

  • Save time and drive efficiencies
  • By using our identity scanning software, public sector organisations can complete ID checks more quickly, creating greater HR efficiencies and reducing the administrative burden and training need for HR, recruitment and benefits staff.
  • Protect funds
  • Using ID checks ensures that services are made available and benefits paid only to eligible recipients.
  • Reduces the risk of human error
  • A manual process is subject to human error and potential bias. Electronic checks streamline the verification process and create consistent results independent of operator bias or skill level.

How IDV Pacific helps the Security sector?

We help to ensure the safety of people, assets and locations by checking and confirming the identity of security staff, especially those working in high-risk areas.
