Excerpt
Info
titleThis page contains legacy documentation

The documentation in this section covers an original-style implementation of greenID which is still supported but rarely used in new implementations from 2016 onwards. New customers are instead encouraged to look at greenID API, greenID Web and greenID Mobile methods of integration.

The GreenID greenID application hosts a series of web pages that may be used to verify certain details about an individual.  The GreenID greenID application also offers a set of Web Services methods to allow remote clients to access GreenIDgreenID's verification services programmatically. 

...

In order to verify details about an individual, a Web Service call is required, depending on the outcome a user may be re-directed to the GreenID greenID web site to supply additional information about them to allow GreenID greenID to carry out certain checks on their behalf.  After the verification process is completed, either successfully or not, then a Web Service can be called to query the outcome of the verification process.

...

In order to complete a verification for an individual, GreenID greenID employs the following procedure

  • The individual registers with the client organisation, which collect some basic information about the person such as name, address, date of birth, etc.
  • The client organisation makes a Registering a user registration  registration Web Service call to GreenID call to greenID to request that GreenID greenID carry out a series of automatic checks on the person’s details.
  • GreenID greenID returns the result of these automatic checks to the client organisation.
  • The person is re-directed to the GreenID greenID website where additional checks are performed in an interactive manner.
  • Once the verification process is complete, GreenID greenID returns the person to the client organisation’s website.
  • The client organisation invokes a Web Service to query GreenID greenID for the outcome of the verification process for the person.  This can be invoked at any time. It can be triggered by the user returning to the site, or by an optional notification call from GreenID greenID which occurs whenever a person is verified.
  • The client organisation takes appropriate action at their website based on the outcome reported by GreenIDgreenID.

The diagram below illustrates the flow.

GreenID greenID also optionally integrates with Australia Post to allow a user to generate a pre-filled Australia Post PDF that can be taken to any Australia Post branch. The results of a user’s verification at an Australia Post branch will be automatically received by greenID and returned to the client organisation when an outcome is queried.
