Inquiring about the resources employed for the verification of non-documental identities by Sumsub.
In an exciting development, Sumsub, a leading provider of identity verification services, has launched a bi-weekly Q&A series. This week's discussion, led by Andrew Novoselsky, the Chief Product Officer at Sumsub, will focus on the sources used for Non-Doc verification.
For those unfamiliar, Non-Doc verification refers to identity verification methods that do not rely on traditional document uploads like passports or ID cards. Instead, Sumsub uses off-chain identity profiles to represent user identities digitally, retaining and managing identity data without relying solely on physical or digital documents.
Sumsub's approach to Non-Doc verification is multifaceted. For some use cases, such as Web3 identity verification or proving personhood or uniqueness, Sumsub issues attestations that rely on liveness checks, facial recognition, social media profiles, and on-chain activity signals. While these attestations do not confirm real identity as strictly as KYC documents do, they provide trust signals useful in decentralized or risk-limiting contexts.
The technical aspect of Sumsub’s Non-Doc Verification API allows the submission, confirmation, and retrieval of applicant data without document upload, suggesting that alternative data points or behavioral parameters might be used within this process. There is also integration synergy with fraud detection, AML screening, and blockchain intelligence, providing further risk signals without document verification.
Andrew Novoselsky, an expert in his field, will provide insights into these methods during this week's Q&A discussion. The event will feature responses from legal, tech, and other experts, and audience members are encouraged to submit their own questions.
The Q&A series can be followed on Instagram and LinkedIn, with new answers posted every other Thursday. This week's discussion is set to take place on Thursday, and we invite you to join us for an enlightening conversation about the future of customer verification.
During the Q&A series, Andrew Novoselsky, the Chief Product Officer at Sumsub, will discuss how technology is shaping Sumsub's lifestyle approach to Non-Doc verification, using off-chain identity profiles, liveness checks, facial recognition, social media profiles, and on-chain activity signals. Furthermore, the technical aspect of Sumsub’s Non-Doc Verification API allows users to verify their identity through alternative data points and behavioral parameters, eliminating the need for document uploads.
