Verification Links
The simplest way to verify identities. Generate a secure, hosted link and send it to your users.
Overview
Verification Links are hosted URLs that guide your users through the identity verification process. They are perfect for manual workflows, customer support teams, or integrations where you don't want to embed an SDK.
A typical link looks like: https://verify.owl-eyes.com/v/abc-123-xyz
Creating Links
You can create links manually via the Dashboard or programmatically via the API.

Sharing Best Practices
To maximize conversion rates:
- Depending on the use case, mention that the verification is secure and encrypted.
- Send the link via the channel your user is most comfortable with—email, SMS, WhatsApp, or any messaging platform.
- Remind users to have their ID ready before clicking the link.
Tracking Status
You can track the status of any link in real-time via the Dashboard or Webhooks. Possible statuses include: Created, Processing, Verified, Review Required, or Failed.
