Extended review

  • Users may face challenges to provide more information if initial proofing is insufficient for identity confirmation.

  • Issuers can challenge users by requiring additional time, sending a verification letter, or directing them to complete a challenge on the issuer's website.

  • Users will be notified of their DC approval status and receive instructions on presentation after successfully completing the necessary actions.

In some cases, the evidence provided during the original proofing request may not be sufficient to confirm the identity of the user. In these cases, a challenge can be submitted to the user to provide additional information before an approval status is determined.

Issuers have a few options for how to challenge the user.

  • Option 1: Additional Time Required
