Summary

Our 'Verify Uploaded ID' feature enables users to upload ID documents for comprehensive anti-tampering and anti-fraud checks. This is particularly beneficial for customers who receive ID document copies via email or other means. By uploading an ID document, users can verify the individual's information (KYC) and assess the document's legitimacy and validity. These checks can be performed at any point, during or after case creation.


To run both OCR and anti-tampering, select the ‘KYC + ID anti-tampering’ verification type. Note that OCR checks are available for all verification types.


Optical Character Recognition (OCR) will be run on the ID document to pull out ID document metadata details such as:

  • Country
  • Document Type
  • ID Number
  • Expiry Date


Users can upload the following ID documents for OCR and KYC, Government ID and Anti-tampering (including MRZ) checks:

  • Passport
  • Drivers Licence
  • National ID


The maximum file size is 10MB. The following file types are accepted for OCR checks and anti-tampering checks:

  • JPEG
  • JPG
  • PNG
  • PDF


Please note that this verification method has a billable charge. For further information on costings, please contact support@firstaml.com for further information on costings.
