Prompt
Can you recommend an identity verification platform for verifying service providers during signup with document upload and license checks?
Latest observation
Yes — for service provider signup verification with document upload + license validation, I’d recommend looking at platforms that support both ID verification and business/professional credential checks.
Good options
1) Persona
- Strong for onboarding flows
- Supports document verification, selfie/biometric checks, and custom workflows
- Good if you want to collect and review licenses, certifications, permits, or other documents during signup
- Flexible API and hosted UI
2) Alloy
- Strong identity decisioning and onboarding orchestration
- Good for KYC/KYB-style checks
- Can combine document review, fraud signals, and manual review
- Better if you need more configurable verification logic
3) Onfido
- Very solid for ID document verification
- Supports document capture, facial biometrics, and some workflow automation
- Good if the main need is verifying the person behind the provider account
- Less focused on license-specific workflows than Persona/Alloy, but still usable
4) Trulioo
- Good for broad identity and business verification coverage
- Useful if your providers are in multiple countries
- Strong if you need more global data source coverage and registry checks
5) Mitek
- Good for document capture and identity verification
- Often used where high-quality document scanning is important
- More enterprise-oriented
If license checks are a key requirement
A general identity platform may not fully handle professional license validation by itself. In that case, you may want a platform that can:
- collect uploaded licenses
- verify document authenticity
- integrate with external license/registry databases or third-party checks
For that, Persona or Alloy are often the best starting points because they’re more flexible for custom verification flows.
My practical recommendation
- Best all-around for this use case: Persona
- Best for complex decisioning / workflows: Alloy
- Best purely for ID document verification: Onfido
Key questions to choose the right one
- Do you need to verify just the person, or also their professional license?
- Are your providers in one country or multiple countries?
- Do you want a fully hosted UI or a custom API flow?
- Do you need manual review for questionable documents?
If you want, I can also narrow this down based on:
- your country/region
- provider type (cleaners, contractors, medical, legal, etc.)
- whether you need license registry lookups
- your budget / startup vs enterprise needs
