Identity Verification
A clean record only matters if it belongs to your candidate.
Identity mix-ups are one of the quietest failure modes in screening: a name and SSN can match someone else's spotless file. PreHireBadge closes that gap with biometric identity verification bundled into every $5 report — not sold back to you as a premium tier.

Step 1
Live liveness selfie
The candidate takes a live selfie through their phone or webcam — not an uploaded photo. Liveness detection confirms a real person is present at the moment of the check, not a static image or video replay.
Step 2
Government photo ID match
That live selfie is matched face-to-face against the candidate's official government-issued photo ID using biometric facial recognition, confirming the person behind the application is the person on the document.
Step 3
SSN + address triangulation
The verified identity is then cross-checked against the SSN trace and address history already pulled for the background report, closing the loop between who the candidate claims to be and what public records confirm.
Step 4
FCRA-compliant, every time
Identity verification runs inside the same FCRA-compliant workflow as the rest of the report — disclosure, authorization, and (if needed) adverse action are already built in, so adding identity verification doesn't add compliance risk.
Your next candidate is one $5 report away.
No credit card to sign up, no expiration on what you buy. Run one report for $5, or stock up with the 10-pack for $45 and use them whenever hiring picks up.
