What is a business user?
A Document Verification Service (DVS) business user is a private organisation doing business in Australia or New Zealand.
Examples of business users include:
- rental hiring and real estate services
- financial services.
Business users can't connect directly to the DVS, and must gain access through a gateway service provider (GSP). Please refer to the list of approved GSPs.
Business users can tailor their connection with their gateway service provider to suit their identity checking processes. Business users can also choose to use various means of processing identifying information. For example, face-to-face, as well as online, bulk ‘back-office’ or automated processing.
The DVS is designed to assist (not replace) existing identity proofing procedures. It can't be used as the sole basis for a decision to enrol or not enrol an individual for goods or services.
If you're unsure if an organisation is operating as a business or government entity, please read the policy on
