A FAMILIAR QUESTION
“How do I check who I’m dealing with?”
Your tenant follows a provider’s document and face-check journey. You can see its reported name, date, result and review-needed status without receiving the raw identity photos.
Let them complete their check.
The person provides their identity document and completes the face check with the provider. Follow the recorded progress in Housetold.
Review what comes back.
See the result and reported name. Flag a different name, review anything raised, or manage an expired or withdrawn request.
THE DETAILS CONNECTMore useful.

Together.
The identity result is one part of getting to know a tenant. Keep their confirmed details beside the rental stages, the agreement version and the paperwork still to prepare.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERSBefore you
Before you
get started.
Can someone do the identity check without the app?
Yes. You can share the identity provider’s browser check link. That link does not provide a general tenant portal or access to the home.
Will I receive a copy of their passport or selfie?
Raw identity photos are kept out of the landlord’s view. Housetold shows the reported name, check date and result information.
Can owners verify their own identity too?
Yes. Owners can also verify their own identity. Check availability when Housetold launches.
