online identity verification

Online identity verification is the process of confirming that a person is who they claim to be when accessing digital services. It involves verifying their identity using methods such as personal information, government-issued IDs, biometric data (like fingerprints or facial recognition), or security questions. This process helps prevent fraud, unauthorized access, and ensures the security of sensitive information. Typically, it occurs during account creation or before important transactions, providing assurance to both users and service providers that the individual is authentic.
