Where digital checks fall short
Are digital identity checks putting your business at risk?
Scammers are using AI to create convincing video deepfakes, forge documents, fool facial scans, and access VPN tech that masks their location. Every digital screening tool operates in the same environment as the fraud it's trying to catch. Face-to-face notarization adds a verification step automated checks can't replicate.
Risk: AI-generated identities
Synthetic faces, cloned voices, and fabricated documents can pass every digital screening tool on the market. They cannot walk into a room. Add a step that synthetic identities cannot replicate.
Risk: Tax fraud exposure
Remote workers in locations other than they claim create tax and compliance exposure. PinpointVerify gives you a notarized record of where your applicant was at the time of verification.
Risk: Data security
Hackers, foreign interests, and corporate espionage operations are positioned to use fraudulent remote hiring to gain insider access. A verified applicant means you took steps beyond digital screening.
Who we serve
Higher Education
Identity checks are required when FAFSA applications are flagged “high-risk”. We help local colleges verify identity for distance learners and students who can’t show up in person before classes begin.

They show up
Your applicant receives instructions with their assigned location, document, and prepaid return shipping label. They visit in person, present their government-issued photo ID, and sign the document in front of the notary, who ships it back.
You receive verified proof
When the notarized document ships, we check the shipping origin against the address you submitted, independently confirming the document came from where it was supposed to. You receive regular status updates and the scanned original.

Pricing
The subscription that prevents fraud.
Scammers simply won't show up for an in-person notary check. That's why we price as a low monthly subscription instead of charging per catch. Every month you'll get a fixed number of verifications, with a simple flat fee for each additional beyond that.
Most use cases
Monthly subscription
A low monthly fee with verifications included, then a flat fee per verification after that.
- Low monthly subscription with a set number of verifications included
- Flat fee per verification after your included amount, no surprises
Enterprise
Volume pricing
Verifying a high volume of applicants and employees? We offer enterprise pricing, dedicated account support, and custom billing that scales with your organization.
- Volume discounts where 15+ verifications a month are needed
- Dedicated account contact
- Priority processing
- Custom onboarding for your HR team
What we verify
We're precise about what we do.
We Verify
- Presence. A notary met your applicant in person
- ID match. Your applicant’s government-issued ID matches the name you submitted
- Location. Notary attests to the signing location, and the shipping origin matches the location you submitted
- Document integrity. The returned document matches the original we generated
We Don't
- Certify genuineness of physical IDs. Notaries are not professional forensic document examiners. The notary confirms the ID’s name matches the name you submitted, not whether it is fake or altered.
- This is not a background check
- This is not employment eligibility verification (not an I-9 process)
FAQ
Answers before you ask
What does a verification prove?
A real person with a government ID matching the name you submitted met a state-licensed notary at a confirmed location.
What is the turnaround?
Same-day digital location trace, and a scanned copy of the verification document uploaded to your dashboard in 5–14 business days.
How is this different from a background check?
A background check searches records; we confirm the physical person. A stolen identity often comes back perfectly clean, because the records belong to a real person, just not the one applying. By having your applicant examined in person by a state-licensed notary, we give you peace of mind that the person using the identity actually owns it, which is why the two are complementary, not the same.
What if my applicant is in a rural area?
We operate in most rural areas. Before your applicant is ever contacted, we identify and verify the nearest available notarization location and confirm notary availability. If we can't confirm a suitable location, we notify you and issue a full refund.
Can I use this for multiple applicants at once?
Yes. Each applicant is a separate verification order, priced by your volume. If you're verifying 10 or more, contact us at enterprise@pinpointverify.com to discuss enterprise pricing and consolidated billing.
“We don't deliver strategy decks that sit on a shelf. We build and execute. Adding PinpointVerify means every person we place has been verified in person. That's the standard our clients deserve, and it's the standard we're holding ourselves to.”
Remote work solved a lot of problems. Knowing who you actually hired wasn't one of them.
PinpointVerify is in-person personnel verification for remote teams. A state-licensed notary checks your applicant's government-issued ID face-to-face. You get a next-day alert confirming the notary meeting took place at the correct location, and a scan of the notarized document in 5–14 business days.
