New Feature for Secure Online Onboarding: Selfie ID Verification with OCR Studio
OCR Studio has introduced a novel feature to its web-based ID scanner, enhancing secure online onboarding by incorporating selfie ID verification directly in the browser.
This innovative technology authenticates users’ facial identities in real-time, ensuring live presence and comparing it with the reference image from their ID. It keeps images secure within the local browser, preventing access by third-party servers and thwarting spoofing attacks during web onboarding processes across various environments.
Enhancing Security through Real-Time ID Verification
The features are grounded in OCR Studio’s WebAssembly-powered OCR technology. This solution allows optimal and privacy-focused scanning of IDs, passports, and driver’s licenses directly within the browser. It verifies the authenticity of ID documents instantaneously, checks for liveness in users’ faces, and matches the photo on the document with the holder’s selfie. Businesses can thus optimize security by verifying user identities locally on their websites, thereby improving access to digital services.
The inclusion of selfie ID verification in OCR Studio bolsters the system’s ability to detect spoofing attempts during digital onboarding. It differentiates between live individuals and fraudulent photos or video-based attacks, including deepfakes. This reduction in identity theft and impersonation fraud ensures a secure and efficient remote identity verification process.
Privacy-Focused and Globally Compliant
By processing data locally, OCR Studio’s technology follows a strict privacy-by-design approach that aligns with global standards such as GDPR. The solution provides swift recognition of IDs, passports, driver’s licenses, bank cards, and barcodes. It is particularly useful for industries needing rapid, accurate, and secure ID scanning, including fintech, telecom, government agencies, and cryptocurrency platforms.
The updated feature is now available to enterprise clients worldwide, offering a scalable and fraud-resistant toolset that meets the evolving security needs of digital services.
