Technology-driven, automated document checkers can quickly verify a wide range of international ID documents to help businesses, across industries, authenticate user identities, prevent fraud, and ensure regulatory compliance

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, businesses need technology-driven document checkers to quickly, accurately, and securely verify a wide range of ID documents. Specialized automated tools, known as document checkers, leverage artificial intelligence and verify that documents meet regulatory, legal, and procedural standards. These automated tools not only reduce manual errors but also streamline the process to ensure faster and safer document verification.

As a result, document checkers have come to play an increasingly important role in enabling businesses – especially those handling sensitive, legal, or regulatory documents, such as banks and other financial institutions, legal firms, and government agencies – to maintain accuracy and quality in their documentation, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance.

Benefits of using document checkers

Businesses using document checkers can realize the following key benefits:

Improved Speed and Accuracy:

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) facilitates automatic, reliable, accurate, and quick extraction of user information from ID documents.

Increased Efficiency:

Automate more document approvals with custom Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models and training them on documents frequently collected.

Faster Document Processing:

Help consumers upload correct ID documents in the required formats on the first try, allowing for faster identity verification and customer onboarding.

Document Support:

Support thousands of document types across jurisdictions for automatic document verification and cross checking with databases.

Regulatory Compliance:

Authenticate ID documents from several geographical locations to prevent fraud, comply with KYC and AML regulations and reduce the risk of penalties.

Fraud Prevention:

Use biometric recognition and tailored AI models to perform age checks, verify users, track document authenticity, and mitigate the risk of fraud and identity theft.

Reduced Manual Review Time:

Automate processes to capture data using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and use AI models to verify information, automate identity verification, and document approval.

Cost Savings:

Streamline approvals, reduce human errors, and cut costs on processing and verifying documents.

Better Data Security:

Use biometric recognition for identity verification with selfies.

 

How a document checker works

Unlike manual review processes, AI-driven document checkers use automated steps for a faster, more accurate, and scalable document verification process. Generally, the steps include:

Document Upload:

User uploads an ID document (e.g., ID, passport, driver’s license) to the software platform.

Data Extraction:

Use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or AI to extract relevant data from the document.

Data Validation:

Cross-check the extracted data against various databases to verify the authenticity of the document and accuracy of the details provided. For electronic verification, use electronic chips or barcodes on ID documents.

Image Comparison:

Ensure authenticity of the image using government-issued reference image.

Fraud Detection:

Identify fake or stolen documents by looking out for signs of tampering, forgery, or manipulation, such as altered fonts and watermarks, using advanced algorithms or AI tools.

Compliance Check:

Ensure that the document complies with regulatory and legal requirements, such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) or Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.

Verification Result:

Generate a detailed report indicating whether the document is valid, suspicious, or requires further review.

Storage & Archiving:

Securely store verified documents and their validation reports for audit trails and future reference.
