Identity Verification

Less Fraud, Less Risk, Less Expense

Identity Verification

RealPage ® Identity Verification uses comprehensive and dynamically updated identity intelligence and pattern recognition to detect fraudulent applications. An integrated and seamless three-step approach verifies an applicant’s identity within seconds and provides a contactless ID validation process. Properties can confidently prove applicants are who they claim to be before they move forward in the application process, reducing future eviction risk and expense.

Plus, RealPage is the only enterprise identity platform that guards against identity fraud at point of tour, point of application, and point of payment.

By adding ID Document Validation at point of tour, you can add a layer of protection to your property by verifying the prospect’s identity before touring your community. All interactions occur via the prospect’s mobile phone, and validation results are available in just seconds (pass or fail) for a contactless experience.1
