FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is document liveness and why is it important?

Document liveness ensures an ID is physically present and genuine, preventing fraud from fake, altered, or digital copies.

How does document liveness detection work?

It analyzes the image in real time, spotting signs of tampering, overlays, screen replays, and printed or altered IDs.

What types of fraud does document liveness detection prevent?

Screen replays, printed copies, cut-to-size counterfeits, portrait swaps, overlays, and digitally altered documents.

What is the difference between document liveness detection and traditional document authentication?

Traditional authentication checks a document’s format and security features; liveness detection confirms the document is physically present and unaltered in real time.
