Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
(1) What is the Verify Now service?
Verify Now is a service developed by NIBSS to simplify the process of attesting if individuals of interest are alive. It allows institutions to verify individuals through BVN-based biometric matching.
(2) How does Verify Now work?
Verify Now uses BVN Verification, where NIBSS matches an individual’s fingerprint with their pre-enrolled biometric data tied to their BVN. This process requires the individual to provide both their BVN and fingerprint for verification on a certified platform
(3) Can all institutions use Verify Now?
Verify Now is available to institutions that need to verify individuals’ identities and confirm their status (alive or deceased). This is particularly useful for banks, insurance companies, and government agencies.
(4) Can customers track verification progress Using the service?
Yes, the Revamped Model allows customers to view real-time information on verification status and manage exercises directly through the Verify Now portal.
(5) What information is needed for BVN Verification?
For BVN Verification, an individual must provide their BVN number and fingerprint. These are matched against pre-enrolled biometrics in the NIBSS system to confirm the individual’s identity.
(6) What happens if an individual’s fingerprint does not match the records?
If the fingerprint does not match, the individual’s identity cannot be verified through the BVN Verification process. Institutions may need to follow additional procedures to confirm the individual’s identity.
(7) How accurate is the BVN-based verification process?
The BVN Verification process uses biometric matching, which is highly accurate. However, accuracy also depends on the quality of the fingerprint data provided and the pre-enrolled data in the system.
(8) Can Verify Now be used to verify deceased individuals?
Verify Now is primarily designed to confirm if individuals are alive by matching their current biometrics with pre-enrolled data. Verification for deceased individuals would require additional steps or supporting documentation.
(9) How can institutions access the Verify Now portal in the Revamped Model?
Institutions can access the Verify Now portal by registering with NIBSS and setting up a user account. This allows them to manage verification tasks, track progress, and download reports.
(10) Can reports from the Verify Now portal be downloaded?
Yes, the Revamped Model allows institutions to download reports directly from the portal, which provides convenient record-keeping and audit trails.
