Face authentication

Verify applicants with the help of the biometric-based technology.

Face authentication is a fast and secure method of verifying person’s identity by analyzing the unique features of their face. This biometric-based technology allows creating a digital facial profile, which is then compared with a stored image or template to authenticate identity of your applicants.

With face authentication, verifying activity and accessing services is not only seamless. It also adds another layer of security, as the system recognizes deepfakes, masks, and images that have been modified in graphic editors.

Face authentication cannot be requested via API since it requires our Liveness module handled by the WebSDK and MobileSDK. To perform the check, follow the instructions provided in Prevent unauthorized applicant activities.

To get face authentication results, use this API method.

The following is a response example. See review.reviewResult.reviewAnswer.
