Still have a question? Ask a Question
How does identity verification for crypto compliance support KYC and MiCA-related onboarding?
Identity verification confirms that the person creating the account is who they claim to be. It supports the identity verification stage of KYC and MiCA-related onboarding by providing more reliable customer identity information.
Wich crypto identity verification checks should be used for different users and risk levels?
Crypto platforms can use different identity checks based on the user’s country, risk level, or stage in the journey. For example, signup can include document, face, liveness, NFC, or stolen-document checks. For account recovery or high-risk withdrawals, the user’s identity can be verified again.
How does digital identity verification for crypto detect stolen IDs, synthetic identities, and deepfakes?
okID uses layered identity and fraud checks instead of relying on a single signal. It checks document authenticity, matches the user’s face to the ID, uses liveness to detect photos, replay attacks and AI-generated faces, and adds device and fraud signals to identify suspicious patterns.
Can okID combine identity checks with sanctions, PEP and AML screening during crypto onboarding?
Yes, as part of a connected onboarding flow. okID can first verify the customer’s document, face, and liveness, then pass the identity results to additional AML checks connected through Bluem.
How quickly can exchanges and wallets verify legitimate users without increasing onboarding drop-off?

okID can verify users’ identity documents across more than 190 countries and supports over 15,000 document types. These include passports, national identity cards, driving licences, and residence permits.
Can identity verification systems for crypto integrate with an existing exchange, wallet, or trading platform through an API or SDK?

What happens when a user fails a document, biometric, liveness, or AML check?
If a user fails one of the identity verification steps, okID sends the result and any risk signals to the platform. The platform then decides whether the user should verify their identity again or the case should be sent for further review.
How is identity and biometric data protected during crypto KYC verification?
okID processes and protects users’ identity and biometric data in line with GDPR requirements. For European identity verification, data is managed through infrastructure located in the Netherlands.
