Detailed Reports



This article talks you through how to understand the results you may see in your detailed report when an Identity Document has refered or failed.  When an Identity Document has failed or referred, you will be presented with an detailed report outlining why the check has flagged in more detail. This detailed report will be available above the individuals submitted Identity Document, as can be seen below.


We recommend when a check has failed, that you resubmit the check back to the individual to let them try again to get the pass result. We recommend they scan their passport NFC for highest chances of passing the check. For more information on how to resubmit the check, please click here.




This report is split into two sections (facial similarity & document report) with each section presenting with an overall result and sub breakdowns of these results. The overall results you will see will either be Consider, Clear, Rejected or Suspected.






Within each of these areas you will be given sub-breakdowns with ticks or alert symbols to indicate the reasons why a check has failed. Please see all the examples of the sub-breakdown reasons you may see within your detailed report if a check has refered/failed and what they mean:
