Core Concepts

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

ConceptWhat it represents
SessionA single verification attempt — tracks a user from capture to decision
Verification & CheckAn individual step in a workflow (document OCR, face match, liveness, etc.)
WorkflowA configurable pipeline that defines which checks run and in what order
IdentityA deduplicated record of a verified individual across sessions
CaseA flagged session routed for human review
Screening & ReportAML/PEP/sanctions screening results and monitoring reports
ListCustom 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.
