front and back matching on ID
ID security checks

Front/back crossmatching

ID barcodes contain all of the information printed on the front of the document, and counterfeit IDs often have mismatches in this data. These errors cannot be spotted by visual inspection but are a clear sign of fraud.

Our ID fraud prevention solutions use optical character recognition technology to read the information on the front of the ID and make sure it is a one-to-one match with the data stored in the ID’s barcode to help ensure the ID is legitimate.

Ultraviolet markings

Most IDs contain ultraviolet markings as security features. Our ID authentication software not only detects the presence of these markings, but confirms them against known templates to ensure they are legitimate.

AI-powered template checks

IDs and drivers licenses have varied security features in an effort to make them difficult to replicate. Our software detects even the slightest error in features like windowpanes, holograms, textured areas, microprint, and ultraviolet and infrared markings can flag the ID as a forgery.

Our ID authentication solutions check each ID against known templates and are constantly learning and updating to spot signs of fraud, even from AI-generated documents.

Our ID fraud prevention software, when paired with authentication-capable hardware, can be configured to catch up to 95% of fake IDs.

How common are fake IDs?

In a recent review of anonymized data across our customer base we determined that between 0.7% and 4% of IDs presented for the purchase of age restricted products show signs of being fraudulent. Age verification software is the ideal way to combat the use of fake IDs.


What is ID authentication?

ID authentication is forensic document analysis to confirm whether the ID is legitimate. In addition to AI-powered software, it requires specialty hardware that is capable of performing the following:

  • White light/UV light/Infrared light image analysis
  • 6-image comparison
  • Front/back simultaneous matching (using OCR to compare text on the front of the ID to the data in the 2D barcode)
  • Hologram library checks
  • Watermark library checks

Can fake IDs be caught using an app or handheld ID scanner?

ID scanners use the 2D barcode to capture, parse, and read the PII stored on the ID. This includes fields such as first name, last name, address, and date of birth. Many fake IDs contain “tells” that indicate they are fraudulent within the 2D barcode. These can be incorrectly formatted fields, fields which don’t use known values (example: using “Brown” instead of “BRN” for eye color), or fields which don’t conform to the state template.

Handheld scanners lack ultraviolet and infrared camera, as well as the ability to perform front/back matching, and so are only capable of catching fake IDs with 2D barcode anomalies, which is roughly 50% of fake IDs.
