# Resolving False Positives and Mismatch Tags

> Manually resolve false positive verification alerts by removing specific mismatch tags that triggered suspected or denied status in iDenfy.

Sometimes, the system may flag a verification as **Suspected** or **Denied** due to specific data tags. These tags appear when the information extracted from the document does not strictly match the data provided by your system (via API/Token) or your configuration rules.

You can manually resolve these issues instantly by removing the specific **Mismatch Tag** that triggered the alert.

## The Solution: Removing Tags

If you review a verification and determine that the discrepancy is acceptable, you can remove the mismatch tag to validate the session.

### How to Remove a Mismatch Tag

1. **Open Verification:** Navigate to the specific verification profile in your dashboard.
2. **Locate Tags:** Look for the **Mismatch tags** section (located in the "Partner information" under "User data" card).
3. **Click 'X':** Find the specific tag you wish to clear (e.g., NAME or OVER\_AGE ) and click the **'X'** icon next to it.
4. **Confirm Action:** A pop-up window will appear asking:\_"Are you sure you want to remove \[TAG\_NAME] mismatch tag?"\_Click **Confirm** to proceed.

<Note>
  **Important:** Removing a tag is a **permanent action** for the current session. Once removed, the tag **will not reappear** or be re-triggered automatically, even if you refresh the page.

> **Automatic Status Update:** Once you remove the tag, the system automatically re-evaluates the verification status.
>
> * If the tag was the only reason for rejection, the status will automatically change from **Suspected/Denied** to **Approved**.
> * You **do not** need to click the "Approve" button manually after removing the tag.

## False Positive vs. Policy Override

It is important to distinguish between fixing a system error and making a conscious exception. Removing a tag works for both scenarios.

### 1. False Positive (System Error)

* **Scenario:** The user is named "John", but the automated system read "Jon" and applied a `NAME` mismatch tag.
* **Action:** You remove the tag to **correct the mistake**.

### 2. Policy Override (Exception)

* **Scenario:** You have set a minimum age of 18 in your configuration. A 17-year-old user applies, and the system correctly flags them with an `UNDER_AGE` tag.
* **Action:** If you decide to make a business exception for this specific user, you can remove the `UNDER_AGE` tag to **bypass the rule**.
* *Result:* The system will treat the user as compliant and change the status to **Approved**, effectively overriding your age policy for this one session.
