Run an individual client ID check

You can run ID checks if you're assigned the appropriate permission. Check with your IRIS Elements (v.0) administrator.

You can run ID checks for UK-based individual prospects and clients, or you can run a bulk ID check for multiple clients whose ID checks are due to expire. 

The current status of the most recent ID check is shown on the AML tab in each client record and on the ID checks widget on the Home page.

You're charged a fee for each ID check so make sure that the client information you submit is accurate and correctly formatted to avoid unnecessary costs.

  1. On the menu bar, select Clients.
  2. Select the client you want to run an ID check for then select the AML tab. Previous checks are displayed in the Electronic ID check panel.
  3. Select Run check. Validate that the client information is correct and select Confirm. The ID check request is submitted and you'll receive a notification once the results are received.  

ID check results

Depending on the result of individual and bulk ID checks, the Risk level and Next due date are set automatically. They're displayed on the ID check widget on the AML tab of the client record.

When a UK ID check is returned:

  • If the identity is validated, the Risk level is set to Normal and the Next due date is set to 12 months. 

  • If the identity is validated but three or more warnings are returned, the Risk level is set to High and the Next due date is set to 6 months.

  • If the identity was not validated, the Risk level is set to High and the Next due date is set to 1 week. 

You can override these values.
