# Applicants

Database verification allows you to verify identity information against government and commercial data sources, through our verification engine, without requiring applicants to provide images of their documents.

The following information is available for matching:

#### Contact Information

* Phone number
* Email address

#### Personal Information

* First name
* Middle name
* Last name
* Date of birth
* Document number (Passport, Drivers License, ID Card, and Residence Permits)

#### Address Information

* Street
* City
* State or Territory
* Postcode
* Country

Once the applicant's identity data has been matched and verified, you will receive a webhook as normal with the results, or you can use the [retrieving-applicant-verification-results](https://manual.personr.co/api-documentation/applicant-results/retrieving-applicant-verification-results "mention") endpoint to retrieve the result.
