Don’t let your enrolment process get lost in an identity crisis—Digital Identity Verification (DIDV) has arrived.
In today’s global education landscape, university admissions and compliance teams face increasing challenges when it comes to verifying the identity of their applicants. With ever-changing compliance requirements and growing concerns over fraudulent applications, relying on traditional manual checks of documents during registration simply isn’t enough.
And you might be surprised that it’s not just fraudulent documents you need to look out for. Our friends at Trust ID have reported a 50% increase in imposter fraud between 2023 and 2024, with applicants presenting genuine documents which don’t belong to them.
This is where DIDV by Qualification Check comes in, offering a seamless, secure, and efficient solution for your admissions process.
Here are three ways DIDV can streamline your operations, enhance compliance, and provide a better experience for both your staff and students.
1. Boost compliance and reduce fraud risk—right from the start
Compliance and fraud prevention are essential to maintaining the integrity of your admissions process. With DIDV, you’re not just verifying qualifications; you’re confirming the identity of each applicant before they progress further. This proactive step helps you:
- Meet regulatory standards: With increasing scrutiny on universities recruiting international students, DIDV ensures you’re meeting compliance requirements while being fully audit-ready.
- Detect fraud early: By validating government-issued ID documents upfront, DIDV helps identify fraudulent applications before they become costly issues.
- Enhance your reputation: Implementing a rigorous, secure process deters would-be fraudsters and bolsters your institution’s credibility.
Whether you integrate DIDV as a standalone solution or as part of a broader verification strategy with Global Verification, it delivers enhanced compliance and fraud protection seamlessly.
2. Save time and simplify the admissions journey for everyone
Universities often find themselves bogged down by manual, time-consuming identity checks, particularly during enrolment. DIDV automates this process, saving time for both your team and your students. Here’s how:
- Instant verification: Applicants complete the identity check quickly on their mobile devices, capturing their passport data and providing a headshot and video for facial biometric analysis.
- Automated checks: Advanced facial recognition technology performs likeness and liveness checks, reducing the need for manual review by staff.
- Less admin overload: The process is applicant-led, allowing your admissions team to focus on other critical tasks.
Plus, you have the flexibility to decide when to use DIDV. Implement it during the application phase to catch issues early, or use it at enrolment for a faster, streamlined registration process. It’s adaptable to fit your specific needs.
3. Enhance the student experience with a smooth, mobile-first process
With students accustomed to handling everything from their banking to their social lives on their smartphones, they now expect the same ease and convenience from your university’s processes. DIDV delivers a seamless, mobile-first experience that caters to these expectations.
- Mobile-friendly interface: The entire process is designed for smartphones, making it easy for students to verify their identity from anywhere in the world.
- No delays or paperwork: Digitising the ID check process means students no longer need to queue at registration with physical documents, offering a smoother start to their academic journey.
- Positive first impressions: A fast, efficient verification process reflects well on your institution and helps create a welcoming experience for new students.
By offering a streamlined, user-friendly solution, DIDV meets the digital-first expectations of international applicants in a competitive marketplace.
