Frequently asked questions

Do I need a developer to use TrueGate?

No. From the dashboard you send verification links over WhatsApp or email, check people and companies against lists, and download PDF reports. The API is optional — integrate whenever you want.

What documents does it accept?

National IDs, passports and driver licenses from 195+ countries, including every Latin American ID document.

Which lists does the screening cover?

Basic KYC covers OFAC, UN and EU. Advanced and Business AML cover 1,000+ sanctions and watchlists, politically exposed persons and adverse media, with a configurable match threshold.

How does the liveness check work?

It's passive: the user takes a single selfie, no gestures or prompts. The system detects printed photos, screens, masks and deepfakes.

Where is data stored and for how long?

In cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. You set the retention for documents and selfies, and can delete data at the subject's request. Details on the security page.

Can I try before paying?

Yes. Create your account with no card — your first verification is free: send yourself a link and see the result and the PDF exactly as your team would. Later, top up from $20 and get $5 free on your first top-up.

Is it enough for my regulator file?

Every verification generates a PDF report with date, per-list result, scores and an audit ID, built for the due-diligence file required by Panama's UAF and SSNF and the equivalent regulators across the region.

What language is support in?

Spanish and English, via WhatsApp and email, from Panama City.
