Overview
In Legl you can run global due diligence checks, so you can onboard clients anywhere in the world. Legl's ID document verification can verify a government-issued photo ID document from any country.
However, some jurisdictions have insufficient datasets for Legl to reliably verify an individual's address. In these cases, the identity validation section of the CDD report will not return a Clear result, because no matches will have been found in the available data sources.
How Legl verifies overseas addresses
Legl leverages different data sources depending on the applicant's country of address. The sources used for identity validation are the same as for UK clients, but coverage varies by country.
ℹ️ Further guidance
For the full list of identity validation data sources and what each one represents, see Understanding identity validation data sources in CDD reports.
