Learn About the Identity Verification Steps and Key Technologies of ID check

The ID check service requests identity verification from users in Liveform format according to user policies pre-configured by administrators. Currently, ID check provides identity verification through two different methods.

  • ID document: A method that authenticates and verifies users' selfie information based on ID document authentication. This is the most common and secure method.
  • Knowledge-based: A method that authenticates and verifies users' selfie information based on directly entered identity information and SMS verification. This is a simplified identity verification that omits the ID document authentication step.

🪪 ID document

Note

The step-by-step explanation below is an example that includes various features provided by ARGOS Identity.

ID Document Verification

When users capture their ID document in real-time or submit a saved image, the ID recognition AI (OCR AI) verifies it. The system checks the authenticity of the ID document and the information it contains, converts it to text data, and displays it to the user. It provides users with the opportunity to make direct corrections to improve data accuracy.

  • Core Technology: Text conversion of ID document data using OCR AI
  • Important: Provides user input opportunities to supplement AI reliability

Face Verification

When users take or submit a face photo, two AIs operate:

  • Face Compare AI: Verifies whether the face photo on the ID document matches the real-time face photo
  • Liveness AI: Prevents face spoofing and forgery

AI technology prevents face spoofing and forgery, strengthening the authentication process.

Information Consolidation Verification

The system compares OCR data with user-modified data to verify final identity information. Text Matching AI operates to detect differences between names or different languages and determine whether they belong to the same person.

  • Core Technology: Comparison of names and key information using Text Matching AI
  • Important: Confirms consistency of identity information to increase reliability of verification results

AML Screening

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening is performed based on identity information secured through ID check.

  • Core Technology: Uses Text Matching AI to minimize the possibility of missing high-risk individuals
  • Important: Enhances security by improving accuracy in identifying high-risk individuals

 


 

💡 Knowledge-based

Note

Knowledge-based is a convenient authentication method designed for user convenience, so ARGOS Identity's core AI technologies are not applied.

Country Selection

Users select the country where they currently reside for authentication.

Personal Information and Phone Verification

The following information must be selected or entered, and SMS verification is required for final identity authentication:

  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Gender
  • SSN (for US residents)
  • Address
  • Nationality
  • SMS phone verification
