Face Verification

Face Verification Routes are the core facial recognition system within Verifik that processes and validates user facial images during the app registration process. Think of them as the advanced security system that ensures users are who they claim to be by comparing their live facial images with their official document photos through sophisticated facial recognition technology.

Your App Registration must include the following:

• A successful Document Validation record attached to the App Registration record

• A successful Biometric Validation record attached to the App Registration record

How Face Verification Routes Work

Every Face Verification Route represents a single facial comparison session that processes user-submitted facial images against reference images. When someone needs to verify their identity during app registration, Verifik creates a Face Verification to capture live facial images, compare them with document photos, and confirm the user's identity through advanced facial recognition analysis.

Currently, Face Verification Routes support these types:

• compare - Standard facial comparison process

• compareLive - Live facial comparison with liveness detection

• compareWithLiveness - Advanced comparison with enhanced liveness verification

• app-registration - Specialized facial comparison for new user registration
