Evidence

Evidence in Proofdesk are forms that store files (.pdf or common image formats) to back up data your organisation collects about Entities. For example, things like passports and proofs of address verify identity components of an entity such as date of birth or residential address. Evidence can also include any other documents your organisation want to store, including things like screening results from external providers. Each document can be categorised and tagged with Evidence Types, which informs the level of completion of CDD for an entity with regard to your organisation's CDD Policy.


The Evidence forms keep the following details about a document:

  • Title: A name for the document

  • Verified Identity Components: The identity components that the document proves.

  • Document Date: The date the document was issued

  • Source: Where the document was obtained from

  • Additional Information: Free text input for any additional details

Evidence Types

Evidence Types are the categories of documents you store as evidence with your entities. These are configurable in your organisation's settings and define what identity components the document type is used to verify.
