Require a Secondary ID for All Transactions – Proof Help Center
Proof's platform allows users to enhance security by requiring signers to provide a secondary form of identification for all transactions, a setting configurable in the transaction settings that applies globally but can be disabled for individual transactions during creation.
The short answer: For additional security, you can require signers to provide a secondary form of identification for all of your transactions — configurable from your transaction settings.
What to expect
When this setting is enabled, signers are asked for another form of ID when they begin the transaction.
When creating new transactions, you can remove this requirement for a specific transaction without affecting the setting for other transactions.
Read Acceptable Forms of ID for Online Notarization for more about acceptable forms of ID.
