ID Verification

Talview ID Verification is a security process used to confirm the identity of individuals taking online exams or assessments. It involves the verification of a test-taker's identification documents, such as government-issued ID cards, passports, or driver's licenses, against their real-time image captured via webcam at the start of an exam. This process ensures that the person taking the exam is indeed the individual registered or enrolled for it.

In the context of online exams, Talview ID Verification typically works as follows:

• Test-takers are prompted to present their identification document in front of their webcam.

• The ID Verification system captures images of both the test-taker and their ID document.

• Advanced algorithms or manual checks compare the document details with the real-time image and the information on file.

• Upon successful verification, the test-taker is allowed to proceed with the exam. If discrepancies are found, further actions may be required.

ID verification is crucial for maintaining the integrity and credibility of online assessments by ensuring that only registered or enrolled individuals can take the exam. It helps prevent impersonation and cheating, contributing to a fair and secure testing environment for all participants.

Accepted identification documents typically include government-issued IDs such as passports, national ID cards, and driver's licenses. The specific types of IDs accepted may vary depending on the exam provider's policies and the legal requirements of the jurisdiction.
