Identity verification is a crucial layer of security in digital document workflows. It’s seamlessly integrated into BoldSign as a signer authentication option. Requiring signers to authenticate their identity before accessing documents mitigates the risks of unauthorized use and safeguards sensitive information. Identity verification via the BoldSign API provides peace of mind for businesses and individual signers alike.
Read more about identity verification.
You can choose how often to verify a signer’s identity in BoldSign. Here are the options:
These options allow organizations to tailor their document workflows to suit their specific security requirements and user experience preferences. Whether prioritizing stringent security measures or optimizing for user convenience, BoldSign provides flexibility to meet diverse needs.
