Document Validations

In Verifik, Document Validation is a critical component of the app registration process. It enables the platform to verify the authenticity and accuracy of user documents, ensuring compliance with identity verification standards and enhancing security. During the app registration process, Document Validation confirms user identity by validating documents through various verification steps, including:

1. Document Type and Category:

   • The system captures different document types, such as ID cards, passports, or driver’s licenses, and assigns them a category.

   • Users may also specify a custom document type if needed.

2. Country and Nationality Verification:

   • Country and nationality information are validated to ensure documents are authentic and correspond to the user’s claimed identity.

3. Image and OCR Validation:

   • Images of the document are captured and processed, often using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract relevant text for further validation.

   • This process helps to automate verification while reducing the risk of errors.

4. Status and Validation Method:

   • Each document goes through a status workflow, from initial assessment to verified status or failure if issues are detected.

   • Various validation methods, such as manual review, OCR, or scanning, are used depending on the level of verification required.

5. Webhook and Notifications:

   • The validation process is linked to a webhook system, which notifies relevant parties (e.g., third-party systems) about the document’s validation status in real-time.

   • This ensures that stakeholders are informed promptly and can take action if needed.

6. Matching and Scoring:

   • Verifik performs name matching and scoring, calculating the percentage of match between the provided name and the document.

   • This ensures that discrepancies are flagged, allowing for additional checks or manual review if necessary.
