How it Works
By providing an individual's personal details as they appear on their documents, IDMatrix queries the issuing agencies via the Attorney General's DVS Hub. The DVS will determine if the document details are still valid, not expired or cancelled, and will return an indicator back to IDMatrix.
A result from each document check is then fed back into the identity verification framework to be considered as part of your overall verification outcome.
AUSTRAC have also published a guidance note on how the Document Verification Service can be used to identify your individual customers and beneficial owners as part of your AML/CTF program.
