How Identity Verification Works
Metrodata’s identity verification process is simple for applicants while providing a high level of security for your organization.
Applicants securely upload a government-issued photo ID and capture a live selfie using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Advanced biometric technology compares the facial image to the government-issued identification while liveness detection confirms the applicant is physically present during the verification process.
Artificial intelligence analyzes the identification document for authenticity, validates embedded security features, extracts identity information, and detects signs of tampering or fraud. This process helps organizations verify identities quickly while significantly reducing the risk of identity fraud. Typical verifications are completed in under two minutes with a success rate above 99%.
