Paper can look clean
Utility bills, statements and screenshots can be borrowed, edited or generated without proving the applicant lives there.
One question for lenders, mortgage providers and credit issuers: can this applicant get inside the address they gave you?
Address fraud becomes commercial risk when a case reaches approval, drawdown or payout. DoorID gives the lender a live address-control step before that point.
Utility bills, statements and screenshots can be borrowed, edited or generated without proving the applicant lives there.
Document and liveness checks help with identity, but they do not answer the property-access question.
They follow a short guided check on their phone, at the address. About 70 seconds. You get Pass, Refer or Fail, with the evidence.
DoorID is designed to sit beside existing IDV, credit and fraud checks rather than replace them.
You send the applicant a secure link by text.
They follow a short guided check on their phone, at the address. About 70 seconds.
Pass, Refer or Fail, the reasons, and a simple PDF.
This is a targeted fraud-control step, not something every low-risk applicant should have to complete.
| Moment | Problem | DoorID outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Before drawdown or payout | The application looks clean, but address confidence still matters. | Live address verification before funds move. |
| Higher-risk broker traffic | The lender needs a consistent extra control across introducers. | Repeatable journey and reviewable result. |
| Fraud review | Teams need more than files, judgement and inconsistent follow-up. | Pass, Refer or Fail with reasoned evidence. |
| Repeat lending or account changes | Address risk may have changed since the original application. | Fresh access signal where risk justifies it. |
| Collection and home delivery | The car may never leave the forecourt. | Proof the customer is with the vehicle, on the forecourt, before payout. |
| AML onboarding | Two proofs of address, both easy to fake. | One live check instead of two documents. |
| Handset delivery | Phones sent to addresses the customer can't get into. | Proof of access before you ship. |
| New movers | No bill in their name yet. | Live proof they can get in today. |
A focused first deployment is easier to approve, support and measure than a broad rollout.
