# IdentityVerifications Resource

The Docusign Identity Verification process requires a signer to submit an image of their valid government ID and wait for the image to be uploaded and verified before they can access a document.

Identity Verification supports government photo IDs and European eIDs, analyzing the document security features and matching the name on the agreement against the name on the ID. After a successful verification, the signer can view the agreement and sign as usual.

To use Identity Verification, the [Docusign Identity Verification](https://www.docusign.com/products/identify) product must be enabled for your account.

For more information, see [Digital ID Verification of Government-Issued IDs](https://www.docusign.com/blog/can-i-see-a-photo-of-your-id-digital-verification-of-real-world-ids).

| `identityVerification` | array | Specifies the ID Verification workflow applied on an envelope by workflow ID. See the [list](/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/accounts/identityverifications/list) method in the [IdentityVerifications](/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/accounts/identityverifications) resource for more information on how to retrieve workflow IDs available for an account. This can be used in addition to other [recipient authentication](https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=gav1643676262430\&topicId=kzp1578456318101.html) methods. Note that ID Verification and ID Check are two distinct methods. ID Verification checks recipients' identity by verifying their ID while ID Check relies on data available on public records (such as current and former address). |
