Overview
Tenant screening relies heavily on reference letters from previous landlords. But in practice, these documents are often difficult to verify, easy to manipulate, and slow to confirm. VerifyDoc enabled real estate teams to transform tenancy and landlord reference letters into instantly verifiable records, reducing delays and improving confidence in every screening decision.
The Challenge
Screening delays
To validate a tenant's history, teams must contact previous landlords, wait for responses, and follow up multiple times. This slows down leasing decisions.
Risk of falsified tenant history
Applicants may submit edited letters, reused references, or completely fabricated documents.
The Solution
VerifyDoc introduced a verification layer for tenancy and landlord references, ensuring each letter is tied to a trusted source.
- A unique QR code
- A live verification record
- Issuer-backed authentication
- A hosted certificate of authenticity
How It Works
- The letter is created as usual in PDF or document format.
- VerifyDoc attaches a secure verification record.
- A QR code is embedded into the letter.
- The receiving party scans to instantly confirm issuer identity, authenticity of the reference, and alignment with the original issued document.
