Selfie Intelligence

Add Selfie Intelligence to your workflow to capture live selfies, verify liveness, and detect spoofing or injection attacks in real time.

What is Selfie Intelligence?

Selfie Intelligence provides a selfie-only verification flow using Socure’s Capture App or SDKs. It enables organizations to collect a live selfie from a user without requiring any ID documents, and applies advanced biometric and fraud-detection checks to determine whether the selfie is genuine and captured in real time.

Selfie Intelligence is designed for fast, low-friction verification scenarios—such as age checks, security validation, and trust & safety workflows—where a live selfie provides the assurance needed without the overhead of document capture.


How it works

  • Live selfie capture: The user captures a selfie using the Capture App or SDKs.
  • Liveness detection: The system verifies that the selfie was taken by a live person, not a spoof (photo, screen, video, mask, etc.).
  • Injection attack protection: Detects attempts to bypass the camera by feeding manipulated or pre-recorded images into the capture flow.
  • Selfie age estimation: Produces an estimated age, enabling age-gating or policy checks.
  • Digital Intelligence: Device and behavioral signals help identify risky or abnormal activity.
  • Global coverage: Available in 180+ countries worldwide wherever selfie capture workflows are supported.

What you can do with Selfie Intelligence

  • Enable selfie-only onboarding without requiring document uploads.
  • Verify age for age-restricted products, services, or features.
  • Add liveness checks to ensure real-person interaction during sensitive actions.
  • Strengthen trust & safety by detecting spoofing and manipulated media.
  • Support low-friction security workflows where a live selfie is sufficient for authentication.

Unique features

  • Selfie-only verification: No document capture required.
  • Liveness analysis: Ensures the selfie is captured from a live person.
  • Injection attack protection: Identifies attempts to bypass the camera or upload tampered images.
  • Selfie age estimation: Returns an estimated age for age-restricted scenarios.
  • Digital Intelligence: Device and behavioral signals provide additional fraud insights.
  • Decision + reason codes: Clear outputs for routing in RiskOS™ workflows.

Integration options

Integrate with the Predictive Document Verification SDKs to embed the Capture App into your mobile application, then verify a consumer’s identity by calling the Evaluation endpoint.

The Capture App provides a guided, mobile-optimized workflow for capturing IDs, selfies, and supporting documents.
