How document and biometric verification works

Capture

SmartCapture ensures accurate, high-quality images are obtained with the minimal amount of friction.

Verify

Automated authentication on 9,900 document types. Match biometric data from a selfie to a document.

Detect

Advanced AI models detect liveness, tampering, manipulation and deepfake impersonation attempts.

Validate

Check extracted document data against an issuing authority’s database for further added assurance.

Frequently asked questions

What is biometric identity verification?
Biometric identity verification proves identity ownership and genuine presence by comparing a live, customer-captured selfie with the photograph on an authenticated identity document.
What is issuing authority validation?
Issuing authority validation checks the information on an identity document directly against records held by the organisation that issued it, such as a state DMV or passport authority. It provides an additional layer of assurance that the document data is valid and current to complement document authentication and biometric matching.
How does liveness detection help prevent identity fraud?
Passive liveness testing checks a single selfie for signs of spoofing or impersonation. It helps confirm that the identity document owner is genuinely present without asking them to complete extra actions.
When should businesses use document authentication and biometric identity verification?
Use document and biometric checks across the customer lifecycle when the use case or level of risk requires greater identity assurance, from onboarding to reverification and other post-onboarding interactions. Applying checks proportionately helps protect customers and the business without adding unnecessary friction.
