Payscore offers an Identity Verification (IDV) QR code that on-site teams can use during in-person tours to quickly verify an applicant’s identity.
This workflow is designed for situations where the applicant is physically present and can show their government-issued ID.
What is the Identity Verification QR code?
The Identity Verification QR code:
Can be printed and placed at the on-site team’s desk
Allows applicants to scan the code and complete identity verification on their own device
Is commonly used during in-person property tours
This provides a fast, consistent way to validate identity without sending an email or text invitation.
You can see a sample of the printed QR code below:
How the QR code workflow works
An on-site team member provides the applicant with the printed QR code
The applicant scans the QR code using their phone
The applicant follows the on-screen steps to:
Scan their government-issued ID
The identity verification is completed and a report is generated for review
Important: Selfie check behavior
Applicants are not required to take a selfie when verifying identity via the QR code
This makes the QR code workflow especially suitable for in-person verification, where staff can visually confirm the applicant
Note: If identity verification is initiated through other workflows (such as sending a direct link), selfie verification may still be required depending on configuration.
Who can access the QR code
The Identity Verification QR code is available to Admins
It can be accessed from Settings in the Payscore admin portal
When to use the QR code
The QR code workflow is ideal when:
Applicants are physically on-site
