How tmVerify handles digital ID verification

A biometric identity check

Your client takes a live image that is matched to their identity document, confirming the person is real and present, not a copied or stolen document.

A genuine document

The identity document is checked for authenticity as part of the same step.

The standard HM Land Registry expects

Verification is built to HM Land Registry’s Digital Identity Standard, the basis for Safe Harbour protection when the transaction reaches registration.

One onboarding workflow

Identity sits alongside AML checks and source of funds, so a new client is cleared in a single step rather than three separate ones, from your onboarding hub through to eSignatures and TA forms.

How it works

  1. Send your client a request. They verify from any device, with no app to download and no appointment to book.
  2. tmVerify checks the document and matches it to the live image.
  3. You get a clear result, and the record stays attached to the matter for your file.

Less chasing of certified copies. A faster start for every client.

Built for regulatory confidence

SRA supervision

Identity checks meet the Solicitors Regulation Authority framework that supervises your firm.

HM Land Registry standard

Verification meets HM Land Registry’s Digital Identity Standard, which supports Safe Harbour protection at registration.

A time-stamped record

Every check leaves a clear, time-stamped record for your file.

Why this matters now

Onboarding is where deals stall, or where they build momentum. A remote identity check that takes minutes, not days, keeps that momentum on your side: fewer dropped onboardings, a sharper first impression, and a record you can stand behind at completion and beyond. It runs through the same workflow your team already uses for AML and source of funds, so there is nothing new to learn and nothing extra to manage.
