TLDR: Once invited to use Thirdfort, you can download the app via a link in your invite text message or directly from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. The invite message, sent after a business sets up your check, includes a download link and details about who initiated the check and its purpose. You can install Thirdfort on any smartphone or tablet, not just the device that received the invite.
Downloading Thirdfort
Once you have been invited to Thirdfort, you can download the app from the App Store or via your invite message.
From the invite text message
Before being invited to Thirdfort, the business that needs to verify you should be in touch to let you know they need you to complete a Thirdfort check.
Once they’ve done this and set up your check, we’ll send you a text, and you may also receive an email, to get you started.
In the message, you'll receive a link to download the Thirdfort app. You can install the app on smartphones and tablet devices.
The message will also confirm who set up your check, and what it's about e.g. moving house.
If you download the app too soon, before a check has been set up, you will not be able to log in.
Directly from the App Store
When downloading Thirdfort, you can do this on any smartphone, not just the one you received the invite on.
If you are using a different device and don't have your invite message, you can install Thirdfort directly from that phone's app store.
Simply select the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on your device and search for 'Thirdfort.' From here you can then download the app on whichever smartphone you want to use. You will use your mobile number as the username to log into the app.
