In this webinar, Syncfusion® Software Developer Harini Chellappa explored the identity verification feature built into BoldSign. It’s a powerful tool designed to stop fraud, protect sensitive documents, and ensure only verified individuals sign your agreements.
With digital-first business environments becoming the norm, verifying who is signing your document is as critical as the signature itself. This session walked attendees through enabling ID verification in BoldSign, customizing its settings, and managing verification attempts, automatically or manually.
