Service
Identity Verification Online with PhotoVerify
An API for automated biometric verification of ID ownership, and more
Validate ownership of an ID document by matching the ID photo with a selfie captured from the camera, with or without liveness detection. This ensures that the person is present, preventing the use of a stolen ID. Use cases include online identity verification for digital customer onboarding, eKYC, eSigning, and more. It can also be used as a 1:1 verification “on-the-fly” without prior enrollment, as well as generic face/photo matching, etc.
Demo
How does the Online Identity Verification with PhotoVerify work?
Step by Step
ID Ownership Validation in 3 Steps
Step 1
Capture ID Photo
Photograph the ID photo on the ID document with a camera or digitally via NFC.
Step 2
Capture 2 Selfies
Take two selfies for the algorithm to process the validation.
Step 3
Verify ID
Given the ID photo and two selfies, the sophisticated algorithm verifies (1) whether the person is physically in front of the camera and (2) whether the ID photo and the selfies are showing the same person.

Why choose Online Identity Verification with PhotoVerify
For today’s digital onboarding processes, automated identity proofing is essential and requires a 24/7 availability offer with a guaranteed seamless user experience.
More and more services have to stay compliant with KYC and AML regulations. Traditional face-to-face identity verifications, either in person or online with an agent, are costly and cannot always be performed seamlessly in real-time. These obstacles result in inefficient business operations and sometimes revenue loss due to poor user experience and performance.

Today, governmental services, fintech, and other service providers and businesses around the world trust and rely on our technology. PhotoVerify also enables many new use cases not possible before, such as high-value delivery services, Bring Your Own ID, and many others.
