Can I run a check on a non-UK resident?

IDV & PSAM


You can perform Identity Verification (IDV) checks and PSAM (PEPs, Sanctions, and Adverse Media) checks on an individual who lives anywhere in the world. 


In order to carry out an IDV check on somebody who lives overseas, you will need to include their email address. As we currently do not support international SMS, the check link will be sent via email. The email contains a QR code which the recipient can scan via their mobile device to complete the check. You can see a preview of the email in our article What does my client receive when I send out a check?.


AML


Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks are currently only available for UK, US, Australia, and New Zealand residents.


If you would like to carry out international AML checks, please contact your account manager to discuss adding this to your service. If you do not know who your account manager is, you can contact our support team here.
