Summary
A Konfir verification has three high-level stages:
You create and send a verification request
The applicant consents and connects enabled data sources
Konfir processes the evidence and returns results for review
For more detail, see How verifications work
1) You create and send a verification request
You create a verification request using one of the supported methods (Konsole, CSV, or API). Once the request is created, the applicant is invited to complete their verification.
Next: Create a verification using Konsole / CSV / the API
2) The applicant consents and connects enabled data sources
The applicant completes the verification by consenting to each enabled data source in turn and connecting the relevant account(s) required for that source—for example:
HMRC (via Government Gateway)
Open Banking (by selecting and authorising their bank account)
Payroll (if available/enabled)
Documents (if enabled and applicable)
The applicant journey is source-by-source: they see what’s required and then complete the connection for each enabled source.

3) Konfir processes the evidence and returns results
Once the applicant has completed the journey, Konfir’s verification engine:
Retrieves the permitted data from connected sources
Matches and consolidates evidence into a structured output
Produces a verification result you can review (in Konsole, and via other enabled outputs such as PDF/API)
