Standard Data Validation questions are available in the Data Collection stage. They support real-time formatting validation for the following data fields:
IBAN/BIC
Universal Social Security Number (SSN)
Universal Tax Identification (Tax ID)
Standard Data Validation Overview
Formatting Validation
Standard Data Validation confirms whether the format of a number provided by an applicant is valid (i.e., characters, length, structure, format). For most numbers, this includes a checksum analysis of the number provided. The validation also includes auto-formatting of the input to improve first-time input accuracy. The applicant can copy/paste the required input into the field.
Important Note:
Standard Data Validation does not confirm whether the number provided actually exists, or that the number belongs to the applicant.
Universal Support
Social Security Number (SSN) and Tax Identification (Tax ID) validations are available across a select number of countries as shown below. The fields will still accept data from other countries but not validate them.

Important Notes:
The title for the SSN and Tax ID questions once added depends on the country of the job opening. For example, if you are adding the SSN question to a job opening in Germany, the question will be localized to Sozialversicherungsnummer.
The data keys, answer type, validation, and security (as highlighted below respectively) are pre-set and cannot be changed.
If you make a question required, the applicant will not be able to proceed with the application unless they enter valid answers/data to these questions. If the answer is not valid, they will receive an error message prompting them to attempt again.
