Confirming it is really you
Confirming you are who you say you are protects you as much as the landlord, so no one can apply in your name.
Your ID, confirmed securely
You provide a government-issued photo ID, and Findigs checks it against trusted records to confirm the identity on the application is real and yours.
It stops fraud in your name
Verifying identity keeps someone from renting in your name, and your ID is used only for this application and never shared beyond what the answer needs.
What you can do
Have a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID on hand, and take the photo in good light so the whole document is in frame and easy to read. Make sure the name on your ID matches the name on your application, and if anything differs, such as a recent name change, note it so verification is not slowed down.

Income verification for rental applications
Findigs verifies your income from trusted sources you choose to connect, so a real picture of your earnings stands behind your application.
Rental application document verification
Findigs checks your uploads are genuine and readable, and a flag usually just means a file needs a clearer copy.
How credit score affects your rental application
Your credit history shows a landlord how you handle obligations over time, and knowing what it shows helps you understand where you stand.
