Below you’ll find answers to some of the questions we get asked the most.
truuth ID is an app that quickly and easily verifies your identity using common identification documents such as passports or driver licences. It is used by businesses to verify the identity of new customers, employees, and suppliers.
No. The process requires the user to take a “selfie” and their face is matched against their photo ID. So if your face doesn’t match the ID document the verification will fail.
If your name is different on two documents you will be prompted to supply another document to show that your name was legally changed. This is generally either an Australian Marriage Certificate or a Name Change Certificate.
If you don’t have the documents with you, just close the app. Then when you locate your documents, click on the original link to start again.
If you don’t have the right documents at all, please select “I don’t have one of these documents” and the app process will end. Your agent will then contact you for next steps.
You will have been sent an invitation to start the identification process. This can either be sent directly from an agent at the company whose service you are using by email or SMS or sent in an email from us (verification@truuth.id).
Scanning a Document
Hold your phone steady with the camera pointing at the document. It helps to reduce glare if you hold the document in your hand rather than placing it on a table.
Reviewing the Image
If you can’t read the text on the document clearly because it has glare or is blurry, please take another photo.
Taking a ‘selfie’
Place your face within the oval on the screen and follow any instructions that appear below the oval.

If you launch the app without clicking on the link or without going directly from the app or play store, it can fail to retrieve your verification ID. Please close the app, ensuring it is not still running in the background, and start the process again by returning to your email or SMS and clicking on the link again.
After you finish you can delete the app, or keep it ready for when you need to verify your ID with another organisation.
