“We love checkid, it simplifies our work day, it's fast and easy to use. Happy customers!”
“We use CheckID at Limpopo CoLab, University of Limpopo, to verify participants undertaking our various training deliverables. The platform has been reliable and effective in confirming South African ID validity, and over the past six months, we have not experienced any issues with incorrect or problematic IDs, which has significantly strengthened our verification and compliance processes.”
