Identity Verification

Help your test-takers succeed with honesty

Confirming who’s taking an online exam is one of the most effective ways to protect the value of your programs. By verifying each student’s identity before the test begins, you can ensure they are the ones earning their grades, degrees, and certificates. This process strengthens academic integrity and builds trust between students and institutions.

With Proctorio, you can choose the level of ID verification that works best for your exam: Automated ID Check or Live ID Check. Both options are designed to be quick, accurate, and easy for students to complete. Whether you choose automated or live checks, Proctorio helps create a secure, respectful testing environment where every accomplishment is earned with integrity.

Automated ID Check

Proctorio’s system captures a photo of the student’s approved ID card at the start of the exam. This image is securely stored for review by exam staff. With optional settings, the system can highlight IDs that appear blurry, damaged, or in an unrecognized format. This helps confirm that the person taking the exam is the enrolled student, without slowing down the start of the test. Schools can tailor review steps to meet their own requirements while ensuring a smooth process for students.

Live ID Check

For added assurance, Proctorio offers real-time ID checks by live support agents, available 24/7/365. The agent compares the student’s approved ID with their live webcam image, ensuring the two match. If something seems inconsistent, it can be addressed immediately. Students with valid IDs are cleared to begin their exam right away. This human-reviewed option is ideal for high-stakes testing where accuracy and trust are essential.
