What Is Digital Identity Verification?
Think of digital identity verification as a modern way to confirm someone's identity without them stepping foot in your office. Our identity verification service checks a government-issued ID, compares it to a live selfie, and makes sure both the document and the person are real.
Whether you're onboarding remote employees, contractors, or applicants, this online identity verification service makes the process faster and safer.
How Our Identity Verification Process Works
Our identity proofing service is easy for anyone to use. Here's how it works:
1. Instant Verification Request
You send a secure verification request via email or text. The person can complete the document verification check on their phone or computer, wherever they are.
2. Government ID Capture & Analysis
The person uploads clear photos of the front and back of their ID documents (like a driver's license or passport). Our system then checks for:
-
Signs of tampering, edits, or digital manipulation
-
Security features like holograms, fonts, and microtext
-
Visual authenticity
3. Barcode Check & Data Extraction
We read the barcode on the back of the ID to pull official data. This helps spot fake or expired IDs.
4. Facial Verification
The person takes a live selfie. Using AI-driven biometric facial recognition technology, we compare the selfie to the photo on the ID. The system looks at:
-
Facial features for a match
-
Liveness detection (to prevent spoofing with photos or videos)
-
Lighting, head position, and depth cues
5. Instant Results
We generate a simple, audit-ready report with:
-
Confidence scores for the match
-
Alerts for tampered or expired documents
-
An anti-spoofing score (1–100) showing how well the selfie passed checks
-
Extracted ID data for your internal records
