External database checks

Verify document information using commercial and government databases.

External database checks allow you to validate the authenticity of extracted data from documents by cross-referencing it with external governmental or commercial sources. This feature serves as an additional anti-fraud step, ensuring the submitted document is genuine and not forged.

It can be employed as an additional verification step when a higher level of assurance is required. Consider using this feature in scenarios where extra scrutiny is necessary, such as financial transactions, sensitive access requests, or any situation where document authenticity is paramount.

To learn more, or to enable this feature, speak to your account manager, or email us.
