Document Verification Software
Verify the Person, Not Just the ID
SEON adds another dimension to document, eID and eKYC checks that traditional providers stop at, adding fraud context that exposes intent and pulls every decision into one unified Command Center.
HOW document VERIFICATION WORKS
A Smarter Flow for Safer Business
Powerful for you, and painless for your customers.
Enrich with Fraud Context
Before a document is captured, an eID or eKYC number is checked to analyze the digital footprint, device, IP, session behavior and physical location for fraud signals in order to establish a baseline risk.
Capture the ID
Guide users through an easy capture process with automatic document-type detection and real-time prompts to ensure the user takes a clear, accurate photo.
Verify Document Authenticity & Extract Data
Run forensic checks to detect screens, photocopies, invalid barcodes and face photo tampering. Scan for NFC chips where available, detect injection attacks that attempt to fake document capture and layer in live fraud signals for stronger validation.
Get an Automated Decision
Analyze document checks together with the behavioral and fraud signals you choose and receive clear decisions in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is document verification software?
Document verification software confirms that a government-issued ID is genuine and has not been tampered with. SEON uses template-free AI analysis to authenticate passports, national IDs and driver’s licenses, then adds fraud context to reveal whether the person behind the document is who they claim to be.
How does SEON’s document verification work?
Before a document is captured, SEON checks the digital footprint, device, IP, session behavior and other risk signals to set a baseline risk. It then runs forensic authenticity checks on the ID, extracts data with optical character recognition (OCR) to return a clear pass, fail or review decision in seconds.
How many document types and countries does SEON support?
SEON supports over 10,000 document types across 200+ countries, including passports, national IDs, driver’s licenses and residence permits. It accepts JPEG, PNG and PDF files up to 16 MB.
What is the difference between document verification and identity verification?
Document verification confirms an ID is authentic. Identity verification goes further, proving the person presenting the document is its real owner. SEON combines document checks with electronic identity verification (eID), eKYC and fraud signals, so you verify the person and not just the ID.
Does SEON support NFC and electronic identity verification (eID)?
Yes. SEON reads the embedded chip in NFC-enabled passports for cryptographic proof a document has not been altered, and supports electronic identity verification (eID) and eKYC checks against authoritative databases, giving you document-based and non-document paths in one platform.
Can document verification detect fake or injected documents?
Yes. SEON detects screens, photocopies, invalid barcodes and face photo tampering, and scans for injection attacks to confirm an image came from a live camera rather than a virtual camera or spoofed stream. Machine-readable zone (MRZ) validation adds a further authenticity check.
Does SEON record verification sessions for compliance?
Yes. Session video recording captures the full document capture interaction, including reattempts, to support eIDAS-grade proofing standards (ETSI TS 119 461 / VAL-8.3.3-04X) and SEBPLAC requirements for regulated onboarding.
