Verify participant identity

What is the manual check?

The Manual check lets you verify the identity of each participant: before starting the exam, they photograph their document and their face, then you compare the photos. The verification is entirely manual: no AI validates the documents for you.

Prerequisites

In the Configure tab, Proctoring section:

1. Set Camera proctoring to Regular captures or Continuous video. The manual check is only available with camera proctoring.

2. Camera proctoring and identity verification are only available on the Organization plan. If the Proctoring section does not appear, contact us to enable the option.

3. Set Identity verification to Manual check.

4. Choose the Required document: Student ID card, or Other… to enter another document (for example, a convocation or a government-issued ID).

How does it work?

On the participant side:

1. Before accessing the exam, the participant must capture with their webcam:

   • A photo of the required document (student ID card by default)
     

     

   • One or more reference photos of their face
     

     

     
     

On your side:

1. Enable the Manual identity check beta once and for all in your settings, under Beta features. The Monitor › ID validation tab then appears on the relevant exams.

2. Open Monitor › ID validation: the list shows each participant and the ID confirmed column. Click a participant and compare their reference photos with the submitted document.

   

3. Confirm or reject the identity by clicking Confirmed or Rejected, or with the C and X keys on your keyboard.

Key points

• Human validation: you always have the final say. The check happens after the fact: the participant can take the exam before you have verified their identity.

• Flexibility: choose the expected document (student ID card, convocation, government-issued ID…).

• Full control: you can accept another document if the participant does not have the required one.
