I don't think I understand at all what these descriptions of confidence levels are supposed to mean. Do they refer to your confidence in specific pieces of information about the people in the descriptions? Information you heard from those people? What scenario does the business about email addresses envision?

EDIT: Apologies, I now see the parenthetical "(being applied to identity verification, where possible)," which I managed to completely overlook on a first reading. Please ignore the above criticism, but you still might want to make the deciban descriptions more explicit.

A good point, which I'll add to the to-do list.

I suggest you make it urgent. I, too, found it difficult to envision clearly what I was supposed to be uncertain about, except in the first case - which is not doing you any favours, really, by being both extremely clear and seemingly different from all the others.
