Frequently asked questions
Can I verify that someone is affiliated with The Alan Turing Institute?
Yes. The Alan Turing Institute participates in UK federation, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their The Alan Turing Institute account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
Does The Alan Turing Institute support persistent identifiers?
Not necessarily. The Alan Turing Institute does not advertise a NameID format, so identifiers are likely to be transient (per-login). authIdentifier may be null — you can still confirm which institution the user logged in from via entityId.
Which country is The Alan Turing Institute in?
The Alan Turing Institute is located in United Kingdom.
How do I verify students from The Alan Turing Institute?
Create a verification session via POST /v2/auth/verification, redirect the user to the returned link, and poll GET /v2/auth/verification/{id} after they authenticate at The Alan Turing Institute. The integration guide has a complete walkthrough.
