Liveness verification is an advanced detection technology designed for performing facial biometric checks.

Our neural network maps a face in 3D and analyzes it in real time. In under a second, it confirms the applicant is a real, live person (not a deepfake, AI-generated image, paper mask, photo of a screen, or doll) and matches them to the account and documents on file.

The Liveness technology is also aimed to recognize forced verification by detecting glasses, phone up to ear, sleeping person, and so on.

Such wide capabilities of Liveness allow you to use the product independently or in the context of user verification. Constantly developing, Liveness is far ahead of many traditional methods of onboarding and authentication:

• Fast and safe onboarding in seconds.
• Detects physical and digital spoofs: high-resolution video, deepfakes, lookalikes, masks, dolls, and other lifelike figures.
• Stops sophisticated fraud through multi-source data correlation.

How Liveness verification works

For applicants, Liveness verification is extremely easy and fast to pass, as it can be passed both on desktop and mobile devices.

The verification process consists of the following steps:

1. An applicant reads and accepts our terms and conditions in addition to our personal data processing policy.
2. The brief instructions on how to pass the check appear on the screen.
3. The applicant positions their face in the frame and follows the instructions.
4. The system processes the data and comes up with results.

Get started with Liveness verification

Perform Liveness verification via the Sumsub SDK that takes care of every stage included in the process:

1. Configure the WebSDK and MobileSDK integration.
2. Create a verification level and add a Selfie step with the Advanced liveness check type.
3. Review verification results.

Review verification results

To review the verification results:

1. Open the Applicants page and select an applicant who passed the Liveness check.
2. In the profile, navigate to the Liveness section and review the results.

Prevent unauthorized applicant activities

Use Liveness as an applicant action for recurring verification:

1. Configure the WebSDK and MobileSDK integration.
2. Set up a verification level and from the Type drop-down list, select Applicant actions.
3. Add Advanced liveness check as a Selfie type.
4. Review the action data by opening an applicant profile and navigating to the Actions section. Alternatively, you can use the Sumsub API to retrieve the results.
