Their ID and selfie

Never shared

You only see the answers

Answers, not documents

Proof they're real, without the paperwork

Video calls can be faked and profiles can be borrowed. AssertGrid checks the one thing a scammer can't fake: a live person, in front of a real camera, right now.

What the person being checked keeps private

  • Their ID and selfie stay with AssertGrid. You get the answers, never the files.
  • The selfie is deleted once your answers are ready. No face data is kept.

One check for every stranger

The same link works for a first date, a deposit or a new hire. Each answer says exactly what was checked.

AI agents

Your assistant can send a check and read the answers for you. The person always sees who's asking.

How it works

Three steps, about a minute

  1. Send a link

    Text, email or message it. Add the photos you were given, such as a profile screenshot.

  2. They take a live selfie

    In their phone's browser, no app. They see who's asking and what will be checked before they start.

  3. You get the answers

    Each one says what was checked, the result, when, and what it doesn't prove.

Sample answer
  • Live person on a real camera

    Liveness confidence 99.2 of 100

    Does not assert who they are.

    Not determinable

Fair to both sides

Easy to say yes to

A request from a stranger has to feel safe to accept. Every check is built so the person on the other end knows exactly what they're agreeing to.

  • They see who's asking

    The page names the account that sent the link, and what will be compared, before anything starts.

  • Nothing to install or pay

    It runs in the phone's browser. AssertGrid never asks them to sign up, pay or enter a password.

  • Declining is an answer too

    If they say no, you're told. No one is forced, and you still learn something.

Every answer shows its limits

AssertGrid never says "verified" or "safe". Each answer states what it checked, and what it doesn't prove.

Pass

Live person on a real camera

A liveness check tells a real face from a photo, a screen replay or a mask.

Doesn't prove who they are.

No match

Matches the photos you have

The live face is compared with each photo you supplied, inside the face you marked.

Doesn't prove the name on their profile.

Not determinable

When we can't tell, we say so

A blurry photo or a face turned away gets an honest "not determinable", not a guess.

Try again with a clearer photo, free.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Is this a background check?

No. AssertGrid doesn't search records, criminal history or credit. It answers narrow questions: is a live person there, and do they match the photos you have.

Does it tell me who someone really is?

Not on its own. A photo match shows they're the person in your photos. The optional ID check compares the name on their ID with the name they gave you. The ID is read, not authenticated, and the answer says so.

What happens to their face?

The live selfie is compared with your photos and then deleted. No face data is kept once your answers are produced.

Can a scammer use it to look legitimate?

Answers stay in the requester's account and can't be passed around as a badge. Every link names the account that sent it.

Can my business use it?

Yes. The same check is available as an API with webhooks and per-check pricing. Choose "a business" on the form below and we'll send you the docs.
