The Benefits of Secured Signing’s Video Confirmation and ID Verification

The Benefits of Secured Signing’s Video Confirmation and ID Verification header

As businesses rapidly migrate toward fully digital ecosystems, the necessity for robust security measures has never been more critical. While digital signatures streamline operations, they introduce a high-stakes challenge:

How do you know the person behind the screen is truly who they say they are?

Consequently, remote identity verification solutions, specifically Secured Signing’s Video Confirmation combined with Identity Document Verification (IDV) – are emerging as the gold standard for establishing trust in a virtual world.

Why are traditional verification methods falling short?

For decades, identity verification relied on physical presence. However, in today’s fast-paced economy, these traditional processes have become significant bottlenecks. Manual methods, such as in-person document checks or mailing certified copies, can take days or even weeks to finalize.

Furthermore, these legacy systems are surprisingly vulnerable. Physical documents can be forged, and manual checks are often susceptible to human error. In addition to these security risks, the operational costs of manual processing – printing, courier fees, and administrative hours – can skyrocket.

Therefore, businesses are urgently seeking a solution that balances speed with uncompromised security.

How does Secured Signing bridge the gap?

Remote identity verification solutions offer a sophisticated alternative to the outdated “scan and email” method. Specifically, this technology allows businesses to verify a client’s identity in real-time using Advanced Biometric Facial Matching.

Our AI-powered Identity Verification (IDV) solution sets a new standard for security and trust, which is essential for high-stakes digital transactions such as Online Notarization, eWills, Power of Attorney (POA), and remote witnessing. By leveraging advanced facial recognition and liveness detection, the system analyzes the user’s facial biometrics to ensure they are physically present.

What makes this security framework different?

Unlike traditional methods, Secured Signing surpasses basic checks by combining biometric matching with real-time deepfake detection. This ensures that the person behind the screen isn’t using a static photo or a sophisticated AI-generated mask, delivering a truly reliable and tamper-proof identity check.

Is there an extra layer of protection?

To provide the strongest possible defense against fraud, our multi-layered framework includes Geolocation tracking to authenticate the user’s physical location at the moment of signing.

Where is this evidence stored?

For full transparency and compliance, all critical data, including the biometric match results, deepfake analysis, and geolocation – is automatically saved into a comprehensive Audit Log and Signing Certificate. This creates an immutable record that satisfies even the strictest regulatory requirements.

What does this look like in the real world?

To understand the relevance of this technology, let’s look at a practical scenario involving a Remote Mortgage Application.

The Scenario: Sarah, a loan officer, has a client, Marcus, who lives in a different city. Marcus needs to sign urgent loan documents to lock in a volatile interest rate, but he cannot visit a branch in person.

  • The Old Way: Sarah would email the documents. Marcus would have to find a Notary Public to verify his ID, sign the papers, and courier them back. This process takes 3–5 days, often resulting in the rate lock expiring and the deal falling through.
  • The Secured Signing Way: Sarah sends the agreement via Secured Signing with Video Confirmation and IDV enabled.
    1. Instant Notification: Marcus opens the link on his smartphone.
    2. Liveness Check: He records a short video snippet, speaking a unique passcode shown on screen.
    3. Biometric ID Scan: He captures a photo of his driver’s license. The AI instantly compares the ID photo to his live video.
    4. Instant Completion: Marcus digitally signs.

The Result: The entire process takes 10 minutes. Sarah receives a tamper-proof package including the signed contract, the video recording, and a comprehensive ID verification report.

What are the core benefits for your organization?

Adopting this technology does more than just speed up a single workflow; it transforms your risk management profile.

  1. Can we improve compliance? Absolutely. Secured Signing’s platform is designed to help businesses meet strict regulatory frameworks. Specifically, it supports adherence to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations by creating an immutable audit trail that proves you verified the signer’s identity with due diligence.

  2. Is it faster than current methods? Undoubtedly. By removing the physical barriers to verification, you can reduce your “Time to Signature” from days to minutes. This efficiency not only improves operational flow but significantly boosts the customer experience.

  3. Is the security truly “Un-fakeable”? Yes. Unlike a static signature, the combination of biometrics and liveness detection ensures the signer is a living, breathing person. This drastically reduces the risk of identity theft and “non-repudiation” (where a signer later claims they weren’t the one who signed).

  4. Is it cost-effective for my budget? Surprisingly, yes. Adding Video Confirmation to an outbound agreement adds no additional cost to the transaction. While the advanced IDV carries a nominal fee, it is far lower than the cost of manual processing, couriers, or the potential cost of a fraudulent transaction.

Ready to secure your digital future?

As the digital landscape evolves, “good enough” security is no longer an option. By leveraging real-time video and biometric verification, your business can move forward with the confidence that every signature is authentic, every document is secure, and every client is exactly who they say they are.
