Verification Lifecycle

In the Persona data model, a verification is an independent object that is associated with a Persona organization.

A verification moves through various statuses as it progresses from initialization to data submission and finally to verification completion.

Verification lifecycle

The basic lifecycle of a verification looks like this:

1. A new verification is initialized with the status initiated. It is configured from a VerificationTemplate object.
   • A VerificationTemplate describes the collection options and required verification checks for a verification. You will need to create this template first.
2. As the end user completes the verification, attributes and images are attached to the verification.
3. The verification is submitted with the status of submitted. Attributes and images can no longer be changed.
4. Persona processes the submitted data and generates check and decision statuses based on the configuration from the VerificationTemplate.
   • If verification passes, the verification status is updated to passed.
   • If verification fails, the verification status is updated to failed.
   • If verification skipped, the verification status is updated to skipped.
