FAQs
What is a liveness check?
It confirms the person completing the check is a real, present human, not a photo, video or mask, and that their face matches the ID on record.
What stops someone using a photo or video?
The liveness check looks for signs of a real, present person, so a printed photo, a screen replay or a mask does not pass.
Does the face have to match an ID?
Yes. The selfie is matched against the photo on the government record, so the person presenting the ID is confirmed to be the person on it.
Is it legal to run a liveness check?
Yes. Every check is run with the person's consent and their data is stored securely. Their information is never shared with third parties.
