You've likely encountered identity verification numerous times throughout your life: at banks, when applying for social benefits, seeking insurance, or passing through border control. Generally, identity validation or verification involves confirming that the personal information provided by an individual is genuine, valid, and belongs to them. The aim is to prevent various forms of fraud associated with the misuse of falsified or stolen personal data.

Digital identity verification brings this process online by utilizing remote document verification and biometric verification technologies. Broadly speaking, the process can be divided into three stages:

1. Acquiring and analyzing data from an ID document to ensure its authenticity and validity.

2. Collecting biometric data and performing a liveness check to confirm that it is indeed a real person accessing your service.

3. Matching a selfie with the information on the document to verify that there is no impersonation taking place.

Once identity verification is successfully completed, the individual is granted authorization to use the services they have applied for.
