Identity Verification on Puppyfinder.com

What is IDVerified

IDVerified establishes your proof of identity, which helps both buyers and sellers feel more confident dealing with each other.

The IDVerified Icon on a member's profile indicates that they successfully completed identity verification process with one of our partner security providers. This is an extra layer of security we offer to our users to help filter out growing number of scammers and fraudsters on the web.

Regardless of a person's identity verification status on our site, we strongly recommend to take extra steps researching and verifying the legitimacy and professionalism of anyone you are planning to deal with.

Here are some recommendations:

  1. If possible meet in-person, or at least arrange a video conferencing session.
  2. Get recommendations and reviews.
  3. Search the internet for business name or email (see if there is any information you can dig up).
  4. Use services like Paypal Verified, Google Wallet or any other verified digital payment method, where you might have any kind of recourse or purchase guarantee.

How IDVerified Works

We contract with a third party company, Veratad Technologies, to confirm your identity by cross checking your contact information against consumer and business databases.

Veratad’s identity verification solution, uses multiple trusted and verified data sources containing billions of public records to return an identity validation of online customer in sub-second time while maintaining the highest level of consumer privacy.

The information you provide to Puppyfinder.com and the third party company is used for verification porposes only. The IDVerified process is not a credit check and has no effect on your credit rating.
