# How do I read third party checks results on my Android scanner?

## How to run third party checks on your handheld scanner and review the results locally on your Android device.

### Running Third Party Checks

Add on queries to third party databases such as the DMV, Sex Offender Registry, OFAC and PEP lists, and private fraud-risk tools such as IdentiFraud by using our third party checks API. Third Party Checks are billed separately from your VeriScan Cloud subscription.

To learn more about Third Party Checks, you can read about them on [our website](https://idscan.net/third-party-identity-checks/).

####  Setting up your API key in your VeriScan Cloud portal.

When you purchase Third Party Checks for use with VeriScan, you will receive an authorization token tied to your subscriptions and number of allowed callouts to the Third Paty Checks' databases. For assistance setting up your authorization token for use with VeriScan for Android, you can [reach out to our support team](https://support.idscan.net/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en).

#### Enabling Third Party Checks in the Android app.

Open the VeriScan app on your Android handheld scanner.

To enable the Third Party Checks button after a scan, go to **Settings > Interface Customization **and enable the toggle labeled **Third Party Checks Button.** This will allow you to press the button to run and view results from Third Party Checks on a per scan bases.

To automatically run Third Party Checks after each scan, go to **Settings > Interface Customization **and enable the toggle labeled **Automatic Third Party Checks.**

### Reviewing Third Party Checks Results

| If you're using multiple Third Party Checks at the same time, all results will appear in a unified list under the Third Party Checks menu. At the top of the menu, you'll see the total number of **Matches Found** which indicates the number of responses you've received from each check. This number is not indicative of a positive or negative result, and is just the total number of results you have to review. In the list, you should see the results of your tests: - IdentiFraud - Criminal Records - PEP - OFAC - Every Politician - Sex Offender - DMV Verification | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-19-2024-06-01-13-1578-PM.png?width=440&height=834&name=image-png-Feb-19-2024-06-01-13-1578-PM.png) |
| --- | --- |

In the chart below, you can see example results from each of these tests and how to analyze the results for yourself.

- **IdentiFraud** and **DMV** checks will return a **Pass or Fail** result as these tests are deterministic and therefore have either a positive or negative outcome.
- **Criminal Records**, **PEP**, **OFAC**, **Every Politician**, and **Sex Offender** checks results will be either a **Full Match**, a **Partial Match**, or **No Match** for each scan. These results all require a bit more analysis before you can make a determination as to the result.

| #### Identifraud > Results type: ✅ Pass or ❌ Fail |  |
| --- | --- |
| Expanding the **IdentiFraud **test results will show the full name and address of the matching record found by running the check. The result will show a green **Pass** result if the information submitted to IdentiFraud matches the known information for this person. The Result will show a **Fail** result if there are discrepancies between the submitted information and the known information.   Click on the card to show more information. | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-19-2024-06-01-37-4490-PM.png?width=439&height=416&name=image-png-Feb-19-2024-06-01-37-4490-PM.png) |
| Clicking on the card will show the detailed information on the selected match.   The **Personal Information** section shows the matching full name and address information pulled directly from the **IdentiFraud **database.   The **Driver License Verification Result** gives a status of the information as it matches the **IdentiFrad **database information. You'll see a green check or a red x depending on the overall outcome. As you scroll down further, you can see which specific driver's license fields were matched against which records from the **IdentiFraud **database. | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-19-2024-06-01-59-1048-PM.png?width=440&height=834&name=image-png-Feb-19-2024-06-01-59-1048-PM.png) |
