Video Identification for Document-Signing Certificates using WebID

Problem


User-added image

Document signing certificates verify author and document authenticity, establishing trust for electronically transmitted documents in real time.  In order to ensure that Document Signing Signatures can be trusted, video identification with the certificate subscriber is required. Face-to-face video verification ensures that Document-Signing certificates are issued only to the authorized party listed on the certificate, helping to reduce the risk of identity theft or impersonation.

We are proud to partner with WebID, an industry leader remote identity verification. When you submit your certificate request, you will receive an email that contains a link to connect with a WebID agent to complete your video identification. Upon initiating the session, you will be entered into a video conference call so the WebID agents can confirm your identity.

What do I need to start my WebID face-to-face validation?

  • Your unique WebID video verification URL and transaction number will be sent to you during the verification process
  • A smart phone or tablet running the WebID mobile application is recommended. Just search for “WebID” in Apple App Store or Google Play to download the application. Simply enter your transaction number in the application to launch your session.

  • For video connection, your internet speed should be at least 2 Mbit/s. If it is lower, stop any downloads, uploads, or automatic updates on the device
  • Ensure you are in a bright room for the video call
  • If you are using a laptop or PC, make sure you have the latest version of the browser you will be using
  • Unplug the devices that you do not need at the moment from USB ports or use another USB connection for your webcam. If your webcam is connected to a USB hub, try connecting it directly into a USB port on the computer
