Why our ID Forgery Detection

Catch fake IDs that pass the human eye and most KYC tools.

AI-powered analysis of identity documents for tampering, screen-capture fraud, and photocopy abuse, detecting forgeries that traditional OCR misses entirely.

  • Screen Recapture Detection

    Catches IDs photographed from a phone or monitor screen.

  • Photocopy Detection

    Flags color and black-and-white copies submitted as the original.

  • Photo Substitution

    Detects a different face pasted onto an otherwise valid ID.

  • US Document Coverage

    Driver's license, state ID, and passport, more than 30 states.

How It Works

Verified in seconds. No extra steps for real users.

Verihubs analyzes the capture itself, not just the document content, to tell a genuine ID from a photographed one.

  1. User Submission

    User submits ID during onboarding

    Whether through your existing KYC flow or the Verihubs SDK directly, the image capture is analyzed the moment it's submitted.

  2. AI Analysis

    AI scans for capture artifacts

    Screen glare, moire patterns, pixel density inconsistencies, and edge distortions reveal whether the image is a direct capture or a re-photographed screen.

  3. Instant Result

    Forgery status returned instantly

    Your system receives a clear pass/fail signal per check — tampering, screen capture, and photocopy, so you can approve, reject, or escalate to manual review.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

No. Verihubs ID Forgery Detection runs alongside your existing KYC flow, whether that's a third-party provider or an in-house solution, as an additional forgery check. Most teams call it before or right after document upload, then combine the result with their existing identity verification decision.

Yes. Each is a separate check with its own pass/fail signal—tampering, screen check, and photocopy are evaluated independently, so you know exactly which type of forgery was detected, not just a single generic flag.

Driver's licenses and state IDs across more than 30 states, US passports, and passport cards. Coverage is updated as document formats change at the state level.

Under 1 second per check in most cases. This is fast enough to run inline during onboarding without adding noticeable friction for legitimate users.

Yes. Running Verihubs ID Forgery Detection with Verihubs Device Intelligence means a forged ID submitted from a suspicious device gets flagged twice—once for the document, once for the environment—giving your risk team a much clearer picture than either signal alone.
