How ID document verification works
-
Detect forged or fake ID documents using Optical or NFC-based verification technologies.
-
For added protection against stolen documents, verify that the person presenting the ID is real and matches the document photo . A biometric face match compares a selfie with the photo on the ID or chip, while a liveness check confirms that the user is a real person, not a spoof or deepfake.
-
Verified data along with recommendations to accept or reject user are returned. Extracted user details can be used to autofill applications for accepted users.
ReadID: Government-grade assurance that scales
ReadID uses a smartphone's NFC capabilities to read the secure chip in electronic passports, ID cards, and residence permits. By verifying the cryptographically signed data directly from the chip, organisations gain instant proof of authenticity eliminating the risk of document forgery. Optional biometric checks verify the holder, detect deepfakes, and ensure a high level of identity assurance that is fully automatic and scalable.
With zero known false accepts, ReadID is trusted by governments, eID schemes, and financial institutions to onboard citizens and customers with confidence.
VideoID: AI-powered checks with agent verification options
VideoID combines advanced AI, machine learning, and optional human checks to deliver secure, compliant video-based identity verification.
Users record a short video of their ID document and complete a liveness check. Each video frame is analysed in real time by multiple machine learning models to detect fraud, deepfakes, and tampering.
It is the ideal solution when AML regulations or risk levels require a human in the loop or recorded video evidence of identity verification. It is also a perfect fit for web onboarding flows and regions where chipped ID documents are not yet common.
PictureID: Fast and light ID verification across markets
PictureID makes identity verification effortless.
Users simply snap a photo of their ID and a quick selfie. PictureID instantly checks document authenticity and matches the faces.
Fast, lightweight, and ideal for low-risk onboarding where speed, simplicity and user experience matter most.
Better together: eIDs and ID Document verification
European eID schemes are well trusted by local users and ideal for identity verification in countries with widespread eID adoption.
Combine ID Document verification with eID-based verification for the most cost-effective identity proofing across several countries.
