Liveness Check
Our top-tier Liveness check solution verifies the genuine presence of identity holders. Choose from Active Liveness Check with prompts for selfies, Passive Liveness Check with shorter selfies, or Adaptive Liveness Check that adjusts based on real-time risk signals.
Identomat's biometric liveness detection is among the select group certified at iBeta Level 2 for ISO30107-3 compliance.
Liveness is no longer optional
Fraudsters don’t need your user’s password when they can fake the user. Deepfakes, replay videos, and face swaps make “selfie checks” easy to bypass.
Liveness Check confirms there’s a real person in front of the camera - right now - so you can stop spoofing attempts before they turn into account creation fraud, takeover, or bonus abuse.
How it works
The simplest verification flow in just 4 steps
Liveness Check is a modular solution you can place anywhere - fully configurable to match your risk, UX, and brand.
Step 1
User captures an ID document
The user scans a government-issued document as part of the verification flow.
Step 2
Real-time liveness assessment
The user completes a short liveness check to confirm real presence and detect spoofing attempts.
Step 3
Face Match: liveness to ID photo
Identomat compares the liveness session face to the document portrait to verify the same person.
Step 4
Decision
Automatically approve, reject, or route to further checks based on your rules and risk thresholds.
Types of Liveness
Choose the right liveness Mode for You
Not every user or session carries the same risk. Identomat offers two liveness modes so you can balance conversion and assurance based on your flow.
Low-friction proof of presence
Passive Liveness
Users complete liveness with a quick capture no prompts needed. This is perfect for fast onboarding, providing strong baseline protection without extra steps. Our advanced algorithms analyze facial features and movements to ensure liveness, creating a seamless experience.
Best for:
High-volume onboarding
Low/medium risk users
Conversion-first experiences
Higher assurance with guided prompts
Active Liveness
Users follow short, guided actions (e.g., smile, turn head) to increase confidence in real-time presence. Ideal for when you need stronger defense against advanced spoofing attempts.
Best for:
High-risk customers
Suspicious sessions
Step-up verification and authentication
Smart balance between speed and assurance
Adaptive Liveness
Adaptive Liveness is an innovative approach that combines both active and passive methods. The system intelligently decides which method to apply based on various factors, such as risk assessment and user behavior, delivering a balanced approach to security and user experience.
Block deepfakes without blocking real users
Both Passive & Active Liveness provide defenses like screen presentation detection + stream injection prevention to catch replays, deepfakes, printed photos, and masks. Active Liveness adds short, guided prompts when you want higher assurance.
Spoofing Methods
Defend against Modern Spoofing with Modern Solutions
Deepfakes & Face Swaps
Analyzes pixel consistency and video stream hardware tampering to detect injection attacks.
Pre-Recorded videos
Detects 2D surfaces and screen glare even on high-resolution secondary displays.
Printed Photos
Uses 3D depth mapping and texture analysis to distinguish paper masks from human faces.
Silicone & 3D Masks
Analyzes skin texture and light scattering (subsurface scattering) to identify artificial materials.
Security Measures
Document Security Checks
Multi-layer authenticity and data-integrity controls that help detect tampering, counterfeits, and inconsistencies before you approve a user.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
How accurate is Identomat’s Liveness Check and how are FAR/FRR handled?
Identomat’s liveness solution is designed to maximize spoof detection while keeping false rejections low. Accuracy is measured using industry-standard biometric metrics, including FAR (False Acceptance Rate) and FRR (False Rejection Rate), with thresholds configurable based on your risk tolerance. This allows teams to balance security and conversion without relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
What’s the difference between passive, active, and adaptive liveness detection?
Passive liveness verifies real presence through short, prompt-free selfie videos and is optimized for low friction and high conversion. Active liveness adds guided actions to increase assurance against advanced spoofing. Adaptive liveness intelligently selects passive or active checks based on risk signals, combining speed and security within the same flow.
How does Identomat protect against deepfakes, replay attacks, and 3D mask spoofing?
Identomat defends against modern spoofing techniques using screen presentation detection, stream injection prevention, motion analysis, and biometric consistency checks. Active liveness adds randomized prompts to further reduce the risk of replayed or synthetic media, helping stop deepfakes, printed photos, masks, and injected video streams.
Is Identomat Liveness Check compliant with biometric and data protection standards?
Yes. Identomat’s liveness technology is certified to iBeta Level 2, demonstrating compliance with ISO/IEC 30107-3 for biometric presentation attack detection. The platform also aligns with GDPR requirements, SOC 2 Type II controls, and other security and privacy standards to support regulated use cases.
How can Liveness Check be integrated and how long does implementation take?
Liveness Check is available via SDKs and APIs and can be added as a modular step within existing KYC or authentication flows. Integration timelines vary by setup, but most teams can deploy and configure liveness quickly using Identomat’s no-code workflows and developer-friendly APIs.
How does Liveness Check impact user experience and completion rates?
Identomat is designed to keep completion rates high by offering low-friction passive liveness and step-up active checks only when needed. On average, teams achieve strong pass rates while maintaining protection against spoofing, making liveness a security control that doesn’t come at the cost of user experience.
