FAQ

Identity verification is the process of confirming that someone is who they claim to be. It involves validating the identity of an individual using various methods and tools. This can include verifying personal information, such as name, address, and date of birth, as well as using more advanced techniques like biometric verification (fingerprint, facial recognition) or two-factor authentication. Identity verification is crucial in various contexts, such as online transactions, financial services, and access to secure systems. This protects both you and the service you are trying to access.
Our AI uses optical character recognition to ensure you do not need to input document data manually. As well as various spoofing detection tools to check the validity of the gathered information and double-check it with various registries.

Once we confirm your identity document is genuine, biometrical data analysis returns that the biometric data isn't spoofed, meaning confirmation that no one else is pretending to be you, all gathered data is compared.
