What’s a VEVO check?

FrankieOne uses VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online) to check a foreign passport number and provide information about the Australian visa conditions associated with that passport.

​

What’s the difference between VEVO vs the DVS Passport Visa check?

The key difference between VEVO and the DVS is that the DVS verifies identity information associated with a visa record while VEVO doesn’t.

• Use Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) to verify the current visa details and conditions linked to a passport.
• Use the Document Verification Service (DVS) to verify that a visa is in effect and that the document number, name, and date of birth match the current Department of Home Affairs identity record.

For identity verification checks, the DVS passport service, in general, will suffice. However, if you require details of the visa and its conditions then both the DVS and Vevo checks can be configured.

​

How do I know if a VEVO check was run?

A VEVO check can be configured as part of any entity profile, and if verified, also counts as one Australian GOV ID when run with the DVS Visa check. The check summary will tell you if a VEVO check has been run and if it was verified or not. Speak to your account manager for pricing and further information on running VEVO checks.
