To minimise the impact of the DVS transaction fees for electoral roll verifications, greenID will only use Commonwealth electoral roll data when it contributes to the verification outcome.
How does this work?
In simple terms, the first identity check will continue to be against greenID’s core data set which includes exclusive data such as illion Credit Header, Australian Tenancy File and Australian Claims Database.
If the identity requires further verification that Commonwealth electoral roll data can provide, the identity will be checked against the electoral roll database.
How you capture your identity data, what rules you have configured and how you are integrated to greenID can all have an impact on how often AEC data will be used.
DVS has tighter matching criteria on DOB, name and address fields, so we highly recommend you review your data capture process and consider collecting this data if you’re not already.
Some specific fields to review include:
DOB
Middle name
Building name
Unit number
Street types
State
Postcode
Suburb
We will let you know when electoral roll changes are available for testing.
Here are some examples of how cascading will work for different rules sets.
