How to Automate Identity Verification from Typeform Responses with Fastkey

Typeform is known for creating beautiful, conversational forms that get higher completion rates. Whether you're using it for client intake, rental applications, membership signups, or any process that collects personal information, there's often a next step that's entirely manual: verifying the person's identity. With Fastkey and Zapier, that step happens automatically the moment a Typeform response comes in.

How It Works

This integration connects Typeform to Fastkey through Zapier. When someone completes your Typeform, an identity verification request is sent to them automatically:

Trigger: A new response is submitted through your Typeform
Action: Fastkey sends the respondent an identity verification request via email
The person verifies their identity using their government-issued photo ID and facial recognition through Fastkey's secure portal
Results are delivered to your Fastkey dashboard

The experience is seamless. The respondent finishes your Typeform, receives an email from Fastkey, clicks the link, scans their ID, takes a selfie, and they're verified. No app to download, no account to create.

Why Typeform + Fastkey?

Typeform's strength is creating forms that feel personal and get completed. But a great form experience loses its value if the follow-up process is slow and manual. Fastkey's identity verification adds a critical layer of trust to your Typeform workflows.

By connecting Typeform to Fastkey, you keep the momentum going — the person who just completed your form immediately receives the next step in the process, while the details are fresh and they're still engaged.

Compare this to the manual approach:

Someone submits your Typeform
Hours or days later, someone on your team notices the response
They copy the person's details into a verification platform
The verification request finally gets sent
By now, the respondent may have moved on or forgotten about it

With automation, the verification request goes out within minutes of the form submission. Response rates are higher and your process moves faster.

Use Cases

Rental Applications

Property managers and landlords who use Typeform for rental applications can automatically verify every applicant's identity. Confirm they are who they claim to be before scheduling a viewing or processing the lease.

Client Onboarding

Financial advisors, accountants, law firms, and consultants who collect client information through Typeform can trigger identity verification as part of their Know Your Client (KYC) compliance. The client completes the intake form and immediately gets verified — no manual steps in between.

Membership and Access Control

Organizations that manage memberships, co-working spaces, or restricted-access facilities can verify new members as part of the signup flow. The Typeform collects their details, and Fastkey confirms their identity.

Contractor and Freelancer Onboarding

Companies that onboard contractors or freelancers through Typeform can add identity verification to the process. Especially important for remote workers where you can't verify identity in person.

Insurance Applications

Insurance brokers who collect application details through Typeform can verify the applicant's identity before processing the policy. Reduces fraud and meets regulatory requirements.

Setting Up Your Typeform

Your Typeform needs to collect a few key fields for the verification to work:

First name and last name
Email address — this is where Fastkey sends the verification link
Phone number (optional but recommended)

You can include any other questions your process needs. The Zap only pulls the name, email, and phone to send the verification — everything else in your Typeform stays in your results as usual.

Setting Up the Zap

Create a Fastkey account at fastkey.com/register (Business account required)
Search for "Fastkey" and "Typeform" on Zapier to find the template
Connect your Typeform account — Zapier will ask for your Typeform API token
Select your form — choose the specific Typeform you want to connect
Connect your Fastkey account — enter your Fastkey email and password
Map the fields — match your Typeform's name and email questions to Fastkey's verification request fields
Turn on your Zap — every new submission will now trigger a verification

Completing the Workflow

Once verification results are ready, you can add more Zaps to automate what happens next:

Save the PDF report to Google Drive — keep verified identity documents organized
Log the result in Google Sheets — track verification status alongside your Typeform responses
Send a Slack notification — get alerted when a verification is complete
Email the report — forward the result to a manager, compliance officer, or client
