About Veriff

Veriff sells an identity verification platform that covers identity, biometric, and business verification.

Veriff says its proprietary document forensics database spans 230+ countries and territories.^[1]

Veriff's Identity Verification product verifies the identity of individuals using document checks, face matching, and liveness detection. A user photographs a government-issued identity document and takes a selfie. Veriff supports iOS, Android, mobile web, and web SDK or API. Veriff says its AI-powered technology returns a decision in a matter of seconds, based on the identity checks the customer's business requires. Veriff guides the user through the process with real-time feedback and automatically identifies the document type, so the user does not have to manually enter data. Assisted Image Capture flags issues like poor lighting, glare, or a cropped ID in real time. Passive liveness detection confirms a real person is present with no extra steps. Veriff supports more than 12.5K government-issued IDs covering 230+ countries and territories. Veriff supports 50 unique languages and dialects.
