Manual KYC Spot Check

When you need a fast compliance decision, full onboarding is not always necessary. Verifid Manual KYC Spot Check is built for one-off identity verification and AML screening without creating a client profile in your database. It helps you validate a customer’s identity document and immediately run an AML check – ideal for quick due diligence, pre-onboarding verification, and risk-based compliance workflows.

This service is designed for EU-facing compliance needs and supports a practical approach to KYCsanctions screening, and PEP checks in a single, simple flow.

What is a Manual KYC Spot Check?

A Manual KYC Spot Check is a streamlined process where the Verifid user uploads an identity document for a person and requests verification and screening results on demand. It’s especially useful when you want to:

  • validate identity before starting a business relationship,
  • perform additional due diligence on a specific person,
  • verify occasional customers or low-volume cases,
  • reduce manual workload while keeping checks consistent.

Unlike Client Onboarding, spot checks are meant for speed and flexibility – perfect when you don’t want to build a full customer record but still need compliance-grade output.

Document Verification: upload and validate identity documents

Verifid supports common KYC document types used across Europe and internationally. You can upload:

  • Passport
  • National ID card
  • Driving licence
  • Residence permit

The platform checks the submitted document for validity and consistency, helping you confirm that the document appears genuine and suitable for KYC purposes. This improves onboarding conversion for legitimate customers while strengthening fraud prevention for suspicious cases.

For compliance teams, it also means fewer manual checks, less subjective decision-making, and a more standardized process.

AML Screening in the same flow: sanctions and PEP checks

Once the identity document is uploaded, Verifid can generate an AML report for the same person. This includes screening against key AML risk indicators such as:

  • Sanctions lists
  • Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
  • Warning lists
  • Fitness Probity

You receive a clear result that supports internal decision-making and regulatory expectations—whether you approve, reject, or escalate the case for enhanced due diligence.

This approach supports risk-based compliance, helping you apply the right level of checks depending on the situation, customer type, and your internal policies.

Clear results and compliance-friendly reporting

  • document why a decision was made,
  • share outcomes internally (compliance, operations, management),
  • keep a clean audit trail for future reviews.
