How to create Sumsub ID

This article is about the two ways to create a Sumsub ID: during verification at a partner app or at id.sumsub.com, what email confirmation is needed, and what happens if you create an account before adding any documents.

You can set up your Sumsub ID account in a few minutes, either while verifying in a partner app or directly on the Sumsub ID website. Once your verification is approved, Sumsub saves your documents for future use.

During verification with a Sumsub partner


If you are verifying your identity at an app that uses Sumsub, you can create your Sumsub ID at the same time:

  1. Start the verification process.

  2. Select "Speed up your verification with Sumsub ID."

  3. Enter and verify your email.

  4. Click "Create my account."

  5. After successful verification, your documents will be saved in your Sumsub ID account.

You will receive a welcome email from Sumsub ID confirming your account was created. The email includes the name of the app where you created it to help you remember where you created it.

On the Sumsub ID website


  1. Enter your email and confirm it with the code sent to your inbox.

  2. Your account is created.

  3. You can now upload and verify your documents.

Once you upload a document and complete a face scan, your documents are stored and ready to reuse in any partner app.

If you create an account but don't add documents yet, you can always add them later at id.sumsub.com or during your next verification.
