Report: The importance of accessible and inclusive identity verification

Yoti Identity Verification achieves WCAG 2.2 Level AA for accessibility

Our Identity Verification solution has achieved Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level A and Level AA for accessibility. This is a huge milestone for us as one of our founding principles is to ‘make Yoti available to anyone’.   WCAG 2.2 Level A and Level AA WCAG’s framework is used as a benchmark for accessibility regulations around the world. To achieve WCAG 2.2, we had to meet all A and AA criteria. Level A conformance requirements prohibit elements that make the product inaccessible. If products don’t meet Level A criteria, they’re almost impossible for people with disabilities to use.
