What’s ID verification?
ID verification is a process designed to authenticate the identity of users. By completing ID verification, users ensure the security and integrity of their interactions with the Smartproxy ecosystem. This process involves submitting valid identification documents, which are then automatically reviewed for authenticity. It helps us ensure that only legitimate users can access our services. This process is crucial for:
- Security and protecting infrastructure against fraudulent activities.
- Compliance and meeting the highest legal and regulatory requirements.
- Trust by providing a reliable community where users feel safe.
