Document verification is the process of confirming the authenticity of identity documents, including passports, driver’s licenses, or national ID cards, that are submitted during online identity verification. Verification ensures that the documents presented are valid and are free from tampering or forgery. Robust document verification processes are a core element of secure onboarding and compliance workflows for banks, financial institutions, and other organizations with fiscal or age-related compliance requirements.
