Can the candidate sign on screen?

Yes. A requested document can be a signature drawn on the phone, kept on file as a specimen.

How long are documents kept?

You set a retention period for supporting documents on the workflow. When it passes, the files are removed and the result of each check stays on the record.

Can I verify a contractor in another country?

Yes. Documents from 190+ countries are read and face matched, and the result states the level of assurance reached.

Do you run criminal record checks?

No. Toden verifies identity, reads documents and screens against sanctions, PEP and adverse-media lists. Criminal record checks are a different service.

What happens when a customer fails a check?

The result carries a reason code and a plain sentence you can show the customer. Your team can ask them to redo only the step that failed, such as the selfie or the document, and the redo stays on the same verification.

Per check, from prepaid credit in US dollars. Each check is billed by the steps it runs, with no subscription, seat fee or minimum, and the sandbox is free. Every rate is published on the pricing page.

Employee and contractor onboarding

Know whoyou are hiringbefore day one.

Remote hiring means the person on the video call, the person on the ID and the person who turns up to work may be three different people. Toden verifies the hire's ID and face from a link, collects the paperwork you have to keep, and screens them where the role calls for it.

How it works

1

Send a link with the offer

Create a session for the candidate from your HR system or the console. No app and no code on their side.

2

They verify and upload

A government ID, a live selfie, and the documents you ask for, such as a certificate, a guarantor form or a signature.

3

You get one result

Identity verified or not, each document read against the verified name, and a screening result if you asked for one.

What powers it

Name each document and the details to read from it. Each one is checked against the verified identity, so a certificate in another name is flagged.

Integrate

Mount the SDK with the workflow you published, or send a hosted link and write no code. The result arrives by signed webhook, and changing the workflow never needs a release.
