On Trust ID usage

I got a good clarity from Kristine Smythe to understand how reports work especially on why it is rejected and what the colour coding means. My best wishes.

Scumbag data sellers

Desperate for work so had to go through with my face being scanned.

There is no legal reason this would be requested for, it is clearly a scam. They will selling my data to the highest bidder.

Hope this company and everyone involved gets what’s coming to them.

The TrustID service asks you to submit a selfie image so that the system can match your face against the photo on your identity document. This is required if you are making a remote onboarding check, as per the Government Right to Work guidance. Every employer has to make Right to Work checks to remain compliant.
You can rest assured that we do not store personal data beyond the agreed retention period and we do not sell any data to anyone. You can read our full data processing privacy policy here - https://www.trustid.co.uk/privacy-policy-data-subjects/

TrustID have always been helpful and reliable in terms of our needs as a business and ongoing support, from the sales team to the customer service team, in particular Iwona Pietrasiuk. Iwona is incredibly helpful and quick to respond. We have used TrustID for some time now and will continue to do so.

not fit for purpose.

I don't usually write negative reviews - but have to as this service is a critical link in today's workplace job market - especially in the UK. Because of what I have explained below - I had to resort to medieval methods verify my ID - which is an utter shame given the technological leadership demonstrated by other companies in the UK. What's the purpose of advertising "Validating 16,000 global government IDs" if they cannot validate a Non NFC passport? There are more than 1 billion non NFC passports in use. In the era of highly sophisticated AI, machine learning and image recognition - trust ID still cannot process a Non NFC passport (an Airport terminal machine in a third world country can do that!). The UI for document upload is also from stone age - who keeps printed utility bills and bank statements in 2024? Why can't they have an option for uploading files (PDFs)? Either this service is being run by some school kids or its another sham project to squeeze off government (NHS) funding to Tory cronies. (ps : don't count on me - their iOS App has a grand score of 1.6 stars !)

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with our services. Our services are able to validate non-chip passports but whether this option is available depends on the service our customer (the organisation who asked you to verify your documents) has chosen. Our Customer Service team will be very happy to help you further - customerservice@trustid.co.uk or 0118 228 0939.

Easy to Use with Excellent Customer Service

TrustID by far has been the most effective and helpful tool in reviewing applicants' right to work status. Customer services are always quick to respond, provide detailed explanations and make the whole process a lot more straightforward!

Would highly recommend to any companies or HR departments looking for accurate software to ensure that they are complying with Right to Work legislation.

Cost Effective, Excellent Customer Service

I have had an absolute amazing experience with TrustID from the sales team to the customer service team. They are very efficient with my needs. When I was researching for streamlining RTW checks, I was always recommended to try out TrustID as they would be able to meet to needs I had (which is very true). Definitely recommend it.

So I've spent roughly about 6 hours trying to sort this out over the last 2 weeks. First of all it was the link from Gmail so I had to copy into Chrome to fix it the error, and now the new error is it won't take proof of my address and it keeps failing not even getting it to pop up so I can upload it
what is the surprising in though Is people making out This is the first time they've come across this but they do it as a day job... And again it's failed. What a joke

Utterly, infuriatingly useless.

"Please use your mobile to verify your identity – it’s much faster" - Much faster than refusing to let me do it literally any other way?

Then the button to upload the image of my documents just... doesn't work for 30-60 seconds, and then it does, for no apparent reason.

Then I get sent back to the beginning for, again, no apparent reason.

Then, having laboured to upload my documents, the next "check could not be initialized" - again, with no explanation. Is it my device? My internet connection? My documents? Your servers?

Utterly, infuriatingly useless.
