VerifyID by American Tenant Screen

Verify the Applicant Before You Screen

VerifyID adds modern identity verification to the ATS screening. It establishes that the identity credential presented by the applicant is a match to the person completing the application.

Coming December 1 for ATS clients

Why VerifyID Matters

A clean background report only helps if it belongs to the person who will live in your rental. Application fraud is a growing risk for housing providers, and it often starts with identity.

Stolen Identities

Applicants may use another person's name, Social Security number and history to pass screening.

Fake or Altered IDs

Counterfeit and edited ID documents can look convincing in a photo or photocopy.

Applying as Someone Else

One person may apply under a friend's or relative's identity to hide their own record.

Simple for Applicants

Applicants complete VerifyID on their own phone in a few minutes, using their physical ID and a quick selfie. There is no office visit, so identity verification fits into your normal leasing process.

How VerifyID Works

  1. Send the Invitation

    Send the applicant a VerifyID invitation from your ATS workflow.

  2. Applicant Presents ID

    The applicant presents an accepted government-issued photo ID.

  3. Identity Checks

    ID authentication, facial match and liveness checks are completed.

  4. Result Returns to ATS

    ATS receives the verification result and your screening can continue.

Modern Verification. Human Accountability.

VerifyID supplements ATS screening. It does not replace credit, criminal or eviction reports, or the appropriate human review our trained team provides on records that need a closer look.

Identity verification is one part of the screening process. It is not, by itself, a recommendation to approve or deny an applicant. See our full tenant screening services or review screening packages and pricing.
