1. A method comprising:
configuring, by one or more processors, access to an external electronic claim verification service based on user credential information, wherein the external electronic claim verification service is wholly self-contained from the one or more processors;
receiving, from a client device associated with a user, by the one or more processors, a request for verifying one or more claims for the user, wherein the one or more claims comprises information that is to be verified by one or more external electronic claim verification services, and wherein a verification of the one or more claims is a prerequisite to the user to electronically sign an electronic document; and
in response to receiving the request from the client device:
causing, by the one or more processors, based on the configured access to the external electronic claim verification service, the client device to be directed to the external electronic claim verification service of the one or more external electronic claim verification services using a universal resource locator-based redirection to verify the one or more claims for the user, wherein the external electronic claim verification service performs a set of actions to verify the one or more claims for the user;
sending, by the one or more processors, a claim verification request to the external electronic claim verification service using a unified protocol interfacing with the external electronic claim verification service and at least one other external electronic claim verification service, wherein the claim verification request includes the one or more claims to verify by the external electronic claim verification service and a request object comprising a digital token containing at least an identifier of an electronic signature workflow associated with a claim for which verification is requested, an identifier of the user, and a timestamp indicating when the digital token was issued;
receiving, by the one or more processors, from the external electronic claim verification service, using the unified protocol, a first response indicating a result of the verification of the one or more claims, wherein the external electronic claim verification service redirects the client device back to the one or more processors;
and
providing, by the one or more processors, to the client device, a second response based on the first response, wherein the user is enabled to electronically sign the electronic document based on the second response.
