Secure ID collection

Clients emailing photos of their licence and passport? We'll set up a safer way to collect ID.

When clients email or text photos of their ID, copies end up in inboxes, phones and backups you can't easily clean up. We set up a safer way for clients to send ID, such as a secure upload link, so documents go straight to your protected records and not into everyday email.

  • No lock-in contract

Common problems

How does client ID reach you today?

  • Clients email photos of their ID
  • Staff receive ID by text message on their phones
  • ID arrives as attachments that get forwarded around
  • Scanned ID is saved wherever the scanner sends it
  • Clients ask whether it's safe to email their documents

Need to send sensitive documents to clients as well? See Secure email for sensitive information.

How we fix it

How we set up secure collection

  1. Look at how ID arrives

    Email, text, scanner, in person and any client portal you already have.

  2. Choose a safer method

    Often a secure upload link or protected form, using tools you already have where possible.

  3. Connect it to your records

    Uploaded ID goes straight to your secure records location.

  4. Fix the scanner

    Scans of ID go to the secure location, not a shared folder.

  5. Update your client instructions

    Simple wording to tell clients how to send ID.

  6. Show your team

    How to request ID and what to do if it still arrives by email.

What this service doesn't cover Identity verification itself, such as checking whether a document is genuine.

How it works

From brief to done, in three steps

  1. Tell us what needs to change

    Book online or call. Tell us how many people and mailboxes are involved, and what you want to achieve.

  2. We confirm the plan and scope

    Before work starts, we confirm what's included, the order of work and any interruption to email.

  3. We complete the work

    Onsite or remotely, scheduled to keep disruption to your business low.

Questions

Secure ID collection answered

Do clients need to install anything?+

Usually not. Most secure upload options work from a link in a phone or computer browser.

Will it cost extra?+

Sometimes your existing tools can do it. If a new tool is needed, we'll explain the cost first.

What if a client still emails their ID?+

We'll show your team how to move it to the secure place and remove the email copy.

Do you check whether the ID is genuine?+

No. We set up the secure collection. Checking documents is part of your own process.
