Liveness ID verification check

The liveness ID verification check asks the individual to complete a video identity verification. During the process, they present both their ID document and their face to the camera. Dotfile captures video footage and images of the ID and the face, then analyzes them across several layers of verification.

Provider and validation settings

In Settings > Checks > ID verification, choose your provider — Veriff, Checkout or Onfido — and define how Dotfile handles approval and rejection based on the provider's result:

• Vendor's approval: the check is approved automatically when the provider approves it.
  Switch to Manual approval to require a manual confirmation for every approval.
• Vendor's rejection: the check is rejected automatically when the provider rejects it.
  Switch to Manual rejection to require a manual review before rejecting or restarting the check.

Check results

The check evaluates multiple control points, grouped into the following categories:

• Data Consistency: checks that the extracted document data aligns with expected formats and database records — name, date of birth, expiry date, document numbers, document type, gender, issuing country, MRZ validation, data validation and minimum accepted age compliance.
• Compromised Document: detects fraud or misuse by verifying the document against known compromised records, and by assessing repeat attempts, document database consistency and document integrity reports.
• Image Integrity: evaluates the quality and reliability of the captured images — face detection, image quality, color picture presence, conclusive document quality and source integrity.
• Visual Authenticity: assesses whether the document is genuine and unaltered, by examining security features, digital tampering, fonts, template authenticity, original document presence and picture face integrity.
• Facial Similarity: confirms that the individual in the selfie video matches the ID photo, through face match analysis, liveness detection and spoofing detection.

Coverage

Document coverage by country varies depending on the provider, but passports, national ID cards, driving licenses and residence permits are supported in every country.
