Global Document Verification Service at Scale

Document Fraud Challenges in Identity Verification
Reading the information on an ID is only part of the process. Businesses also need to assess whether the document is authentic, valid, and suitable for the verification workflow.
Fabricated Identity Documents
Counterfeit IDs can imitate legitimate document formats while presenting identity data that does not belong to a genuine document holder.
- Fabricated identity data
- Imitated document layouts
- Forged security elements
Manipulated Identity Details
Genuine documents or document images may be altered to change the visible identity, portrait, validity period, or other relevant fields.
- Changed identity fields
- Replaced document portraits
- Edited validity details
Authentic Document, Invalid Use
A document may be genuine but expired, unsupported, or reported lost or stolen. For Dutch documents, okID can add an optional VIS check against official Dutch sources.
- Expired documents
- Lost or stolen IDs
- Unsupported document types
