FAQs about Identity Verification for Education

READ MORE FAQs

Digital identity verification in education is the process by which organizations can verify that students and teachers are who they say they are, whether for newly enrolled students or admitted students across the student journey. 

This can occur face-to-face or via digital methods in a variety of use cases, including enrollment and onboarding, during online interviews, for remote class attendance monitoring, in digital tutoring platforms, and financial aid user identification, among other use cases.

Student identity can be digitally verified by using several types of solutions, including identity document (ID) verification, which prompts a user to scan his or her government-issued ID to check against student-provided information as proof of identity. This process can also include biometric authentication and a selfie scan with an individual’s own device.

Biometric authentication technology can also include liveness detection to ensure the person taking the photo is doing so in real time. In addition, digital verification processes can include biometric reauthentication for step-up authentication for access to accounts or systems.

Identity verification is scalable and easy to integrate into existing Learning Management System (LMS) platforms, SIS systems, and portals with white-label technology that can be integrated into existing workflows and/or apps. Legacy platforms may not provide the student experience your community is looking for. Adopting modern technology is key to creating a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.

AuthenticID’s digital identity verification in education is compliant with industry regulations, including FERPA, GDPR, and state and federal privacy laws to serve online universities and eLearning platforms, community colleges and vocational schools, K-12 remote learning programs, international admissions offices, and more.
