Selfie Reverification
Add Selfie Reverification to your workflow to confirm returning users, validate liveness, and detect impersonation or deepfake attempts in real time.
What is Selfie Reverification?
Selfie Reverification enables organizations to reverify users who have already completed a successful Document Verification process. Instead of requiring a user to reupload their identity documents, the system captures a new selfie and compares it to the headshot from the previously accepted DocV transaction.
This ensures that the returning user is the same person who originally passed identity checks—while maintaining a fast, low-friction experience. Selfie Reverification includes liveness detection, injection attack protection, and Digital Intelligence signals, providing strong safeguards against impersonation and synthetic media.
How it works
- Selfie capture only: The user captures a fresh selfie using the Capture App or SDKs.
- Biometric & liveness validation: Ensures the selfie was captured live and not spoofed.
- Selfie-to-headshot comparison: Compares the new selfie to the headshot from the user’s previously accepted Document Verification.
- Fraud monitoring: Device integrity and Digital Intelligence help detect unusual or risky activity.
- Decisioning: Returns Accept / Reject / Resubmit / Review with reason codes for operational routing.
Available for users in:
Available in 180+ countries worldwide.
What you can do with Selfie Reverification
- Reconfirm identity without requiring document resubmission.
- Protect high-risk actions such as transfers, withdrawals, and profile changes.
- Support account recovery during lockouts or lost-credential flows.
- Perform periodic reverification for compliance or trust & safety requirements.
- Strengthen fraud detection when behavior, device, or context looks suspicious.
Unique features
- Selfie-only reverification flow: No document upload required for returning users.
- 1:1 biometric comparison: Matches the new selfie against the previously approved DocV headshot.
- Liveness detection: Confirms real user presence.
- Digital Intelligence: Device and behavioral insights for additional risk assessment.
- Injection & deepfake detection: Identifies synthetic or manipulated media.
- Reason-coded decisions: Clear routing for accept, reject, resubmit, or review outcomes.
