Multi-layer identity screening
We use Optical Character Recognition to read data from thousands of ID documents issued across more than 200 countries. We then cross-check that data across multiple providers, so you get higher assurance and fewer false results.
Our AI reviews every document for signs of tampering or forgery before it enters your workflow, so only genuine IDs move forward in the screening process.
We use NIST-Level 2 anti-spoofing technology to confirm a real person is present during the check, blocking photo, video, and deepfake attempts before they reach your team.
We compare the candidate's live selfie to the photo on their ID using biometric matching, so you know the person holding the document is the person it actually belongs to.
Candidates can add a utility bill or bank statement to confirm their address and add another layer of confidence to the verification.
For higher-risk roles, we check candidates against global sanctions lists, watchlists, Politically Exposed Persons, and adverse media to help you stay compliant and reduce risk.

How It Works
Our verification runs automatically across document, biometric, and watchlist checks, so your candidate stays in one flow and you get a confident result fast.
Your applicant snaps a photo of their government ID on any device. The secure flow opens from one link, with no app download required.
OCR reads the document in seconds, and our AI checks it for authenticity while cross-referencing the data across multiple providers.
The candidate takes a quick selfie. We run NIST-Level 2 liveness detection and biometric face matching to confirm they match the ID.
Receive a clear verification report in hours, with optional AML and address checks layered into the same flow.
Identity confidence
One flow covers the whole check. We read and authenticate the ID, then confirm a real person is on camera and match their live selfie to the photo on the document. When the role calls for more, watchlist and address screening layer into the same flow.
Every verification runs against IDs from more than 200 countries, with a verified result back to your team in hours. The capabilities above break down exactly how each step works.
