Identity Verification Letter

An Identity Verification Letter is a document issued by a financial institution, government agency, or other authorized entity to confirm an individual’s identity. This letter serves to authenticate personal information provided by the individual, such as name, address, and Social Security number, and is often required in processes like opening bank accounts, applying for loans, or fulfilling regulatory requirements.

The letter typically includes the entity’s official letterhead, the individual’s personal details, the purpose of the verification, and the signature of an authorized representative. For example, a bank may issue an identity verification letter when a client needs to prove their identity to a third party, such as during a loan application process.
