 Digital Identity Strength

Basic

Identity proofing level 1 (IP1) and level 1+ (IP1+)

What you will need

You need one email address or mobile phone number.

For some services, you may also need an acceptable identity document, which includes your full name and date of birth.

You might use this level of identity proofing to pay a parking infringement or for the provision of loyalty cards.

Standard

Identity proofing level 2 (IP2) and identity proofing level 2+ (IP2+)

What you will need

You need to provide two acceptable identity documents such as your Australian driver licence, Medicare card, Australian birth certificate or Australian passport.

For some services you also need to prove that you are the same person shown on these documents, by scanning your face with your smart device.

You might use this level of identity proofing for the provision of utility services or undertaking large financial transactions.

Increasing the Identity proofing level of your Digital Identity

Different services require different levels of identity strength. Some require Basic level proofing IP1, some require Basic level proofing IP2, some require Standard or Strong. RatifyID is accredited to identity proofing level Basic IP1+, this means that RatifyID meets the Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF) standards to verify an identity document safely and securely to this level.

If you have created your digital identity at a Basic proofing level 1 (IP1) and you want to access a service that requires a Basic proofing level 1+ (IP1+), you will need to increase the strength of your digital identity. You can do this using your RatifyID digital identity app.
