What is an ID check?

An ID check is used to confirm that a person is who they claim to be. This is a fundamental and important step in all background checks.

At Manymore, this is done digitally, quickly, and securely and always with the candidate’s consent.

How does identity verification work?

The method used to verify identity depends on the candidate’s background and country of residence.

Norwegian candidates

• Log in using BankID, which automatically confirms their identity.

Other Nordic candidates

• Use their national electronic ID (such as MitID in Denmark, FTN in Finland, or eID in Sweden).

Other international candidates

Complete document-based verification, which includes:

• Uploading a valid ID document (passport or national ID card)
