AI for Identity Verification
How It’s Used:
-Biometric Matching: AI compares selfies or video with government-issued ID photos (e.g., driver’s license, passport).
-Document Verification: AI detects forged or altered documents by analyzing metadata, font inconsistencies, and holograms.
-Liveness Detection: Ensures that a live person is presenting the ID, not a photo or deepfake, using AI-based facial movement analysis.
Implementation Steps:
-Integrate an identity verification platform (e.g., Onfido, Jumio, Veriff) with your application or intake process.
-Capture ID and biometric data via webcam or phone at the start of the screening.
-Use AI to auto-check documents against databases (e.g., passport registries, DMV records).
-Flag anomalies (e.g., expired ID, mismatched DOB) for human review.
