Digital Identity Verification (vID) - FAQ

vID (Verified Identity Documentation) is a fully digital identity-verification solution that positively confirms a candidate's identity and validates the authenticity and accuracy of the documents they provide. By establishing a trusted identity anchor up front, vID prevents fraud associated with applicants using someone else's credentials to hide disqualifying history or avoid detection. In addition, vID delivers verified, portable, and continuously updated identity records for employees, contractors, and candidates—helping organizations streamline onboarding, reduce redundant re-verification, and maintain ongoing workforce compliance. MyHire is proud to partner with Cerebrum to bring this advanced identity-verification capability to our clients.
