How we verify IDs remotely
AI-driven barcode analysis
The 2D barcode (PDF417) of an ID contains all the same data as the front of the ID, and each state formats their data slightly differently.
We know the standard formats used in each jurisdiction and so can tell instantly if the data does not match an expected entry.
Every time an ID is validated remotely, our software performs more than 100 simultaneous 2D barcode security checks, capable of catching roughly 50% of fake IDs.
Jurisdictional specific tell checks
Most states embed intentional quirks and security features into their barcode – for example the 4th number of the ID number is always even, or they use a different 3-letter sequence for eye color.
Our AI looks for these easter eggs with every scan during the remote ID validation process.
Front / back crossmatch
Our remote ID validation compares the data stored inside the 2D barcode to the plaintext data on the front of the ID, read and ingested using OCR.
Low quality fake IDs often simply remove and change the identity data on the front of the ID. This means that the barcode contains data of a different individual. Front / back crossmatching will identify the discrepancy between the two datasets, weeding out poor quality or homemade fake IDs.
Review of the front and back of the ID template
Using the camera on the customer’s mobile device, our software reviews the design and template on the front and back of the ID.
This includes checking fonts, spacing, photo quality, design integrity, spacing, sizing, and more. We look for signs that the ID may be tampered with during this stage as well.
Risks of identity fraud
Fraudsters and criminals often use fake IDs to help perpetrate identity theft.

2-step remote ID verification
Our AI-powered technology performs deep analyzation on the identity document to give you confidence in the ID’s legitimacy, even when you can’t authenticate it in-person.
Scan the front of the document
The customer will use the camera on their mobile device to snap a photo of the front of their ID. Using optical character recognition (OCR) our software ingests all of their identity data. Additionally, we perform a white-light template check, looking for any inconsistencies in the layout of the ID including spacing, sizing, and more.
Scan the back of the document
Next, the customer takes a photo of the back of the ID. Our software ingests and reads the data stored in the 2D (PDF417) barcode and compares it to the data on the front of the ID. We also perform 2D barcode security checks to look for inconsistencies in the data format that can indicate the ID is fraudulent.
