Which documents can VerifyPDF check
VerifyPDF checks financial and official PDFs like bank statements, payslips, invoices and tax returns. Here is the full list and what is not supported.
VerifyPDF works on financial and official PDFs. It automatically sorts each document into a type, then runs the relevant checks. You do not pick the type yourself.
Document types VerifyPDF recognizes
VerifyPDF auto-classifies these documents:
- Bank statements
- Bank letters
- Invoices, including utility bills like electricity, water, gas, internet and phone
- Payslips
- Employment letters
- Tax returns
- Credit reports
- Benefit letters
- Other government documents
- Other, used as a fallback when the document does not match the types above
If VerifyPDF cannot match a clear type, it labels the document other and still analyses the file. The result may be less specific than it is for a recognized document type.
PDF files only
VerifyPDF only analyses PDF files. Use the original PDF downloaded from the source whenever possible. Word files, spreadsheets, images and screenshots are not supported, and converting them to PDF does not recreate the original file structure.
What VerifyPDF does not verify
VerifyPDF checks financial and official documents, not identity documents. It does not verify passports, ID cards or driver’s licenses as proof of identity.
A scanned passport or ID currently falls under government documents. That means VerifyPDF treats it as a PDF and checks it for tampering, but it does not confirm that the person is who they claim to be. If you need live identity verification, VerifyPDF is not the right tool for that step.
