Comprehensive documentation for this feature is on the way.

Slate now lets you require that applicants complete a Stripe-powered AI identity verification process.

At any point in an applicant’s journey, you can configure Slate to send them a communication to initiate identity verification. Applicants are directed to continue on a smartphone if they aren’t on a device with a camera.

The process requires that applicants:

• Take a selfie

• Take pictures of their photo ID

• Provide part of government ID number, like the last four digits of a Social Security Number

The selfie portion uses AI to ensure applicants are really “there” and aren’t just holding up someone’s picture.

When they’re done, their Slate record is updated with a full report of what information was verified and what wasn’t. An application rule can place a hold on their application for further processing, depending on the outcome.
