Identity Verification Requirement

Definition

An Identity Verification Requirement mandates individuals or entities to confirm their identity before accessing certain services or completing specific transactions. This process typically involves submitting personal documents, such as government-issued IDs, for validation. Identity verification is a crucial component of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. It helps prevent fraud, deter illicit activities, and maintain regulatory compliance across financial systems.
