Core Concepts | Verifa

Before integrating Verifa, it helps to understand the key objects you’ll work with. Each concept below maps directly to an API resource.

Concept	What it represents
Session	A single verification attempt — tracks a user from capture to decision
Verification & Check	An individual step in a workflow (document OCR, face match, liveness, etc.)
Workflow	A configurable pipeline that defines which checks run and in what order
Identity	A deduplicated record of a verified individual across sessions
Case	A flagged session routed for human review
Screening & Report	AML/PEP/sanctions screening results and monitoring reports
List	Custom allow/deny lists for blocking or fast-tracking known individuals

Start with Sessions to understand the lifecycle, then explore Workflows to see how checks are orchestrated.
