How it works

How ID Verification works

Step 1

Capture the document

Users scan an ID, Drivers Licence, Passport or Temporary Residence Permit with live camera capture or upload. Support ID-only or ID-in-selfie flows, plus NFC where available.
Step 2

Extract key data instantly

Read and structure fields using VIZ OCR, MRZ, and barcode scanning for fast, consistent data capture that reduces errors and speeds up onboarding.
Step 3

Validate data integrity

Cross-check data across MRZ / VIZ / barcode / chip to confirm consistency, run format and logic checks to catch mismatches, missing fields, and anomalies, and confirm front/back alignment.
Step 4

Detect fraud and tampering

Spot screen and photocopy attempts, template mismatches, font inconsistencies, ghost photos, and visual marker anomalies (holograms/watermarks).
Step 5

Decide and route next steps

You can approve, reject, or step-up based on risk. The system will automatically perform liveness checks, selfie matches, Video KYC, or prompt for manual review as needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
What is ID-based age verification and how does it work?
Identomat supports identity verification across 193+ countries, recognizing thousands of government-issued document types, including passports, national ID cards, driver’s licenses, and residence permits. This enables consistent verification for both domestic and cross-border onboarding.
How accurate is Identomat’s ID Verification and how are errors handled?
Identomat combines OCR, MRZ, barcode, and consistency checks with document authenticity controls to achieve high verification accuracy. Automated rules reduce false approvals, while edge cases can be routed to step-up checks or manual review to minimize false rejections without slowing legitimate users.
What fraud and anti-spoofing protections are included in ID Verification?
Identomat detects document tampering and spoofing through multi-layer security checks, including template matching, font analysis, hologram and watermark validation, front/back comparison, and screen or photocopy detection. These controls help prevent counterfeit documents and replay-based attacks before approval.
Does ID Verification support biometric checks and liveness detection?
Yes. ID Verification can be combined with biometric selfie matching and liveness checks to confirm that the document holder is the real person completing the verification. Liveness and face match can be triggered automatically as step-up measures based on risk rules.
How fast is the ID verification process for end users?
ID Verification is designed for speed and low friction. Document capture and data extraction happen in seconds, with most users receiving an automated decision without additional steps. Step-up checks are applied only when risk signals require stronger assurance.
How can ID Verification be integrated and customized within existing systems?
Identomat provides APIs and SDKs that integrate into onboarding, account recovery, payouts, and other workflows. Teams can configure verification rules, branding, and step-up paths using a no-code builder, while manual review and human decision-making remain available for complex cases.
