August 2023 Update: Release Notes
Release 171 brings to the table an entirely new, powerful authentication method: ID Verify! This automated credential analysis plus selfie biometric capability (for notary and non-notary transactions) automatically scans an identification credential (driver's license, passport, etc. and then asks the signer to take a selfie (with liveness detection) to compare against the credential that's been presented.
In addition, Release 171 includes a slew of notary quality-of-life improvements directly addressing common notary user requests. Other improvements include a new customizable marketing graphic at the conclusion of signing, API upgrades, Dashboard enhancements, larger signatures and initials, document rendering improvements, bug fixes and much more.
