Passport Verification

Passport verification validates that a submitted passport is genuine, unaltered, and belongs to the presenter. Automated workflows parse the MRZ, compare visual and data fields, and (for e-passports) read the NFC chip to verify cryptographic signatures. Systems assess security features, detect tampering, and cross-check against sanctions/PEP/adverse media where appropriate.Selfie/face match and liveness confirm the holder is the rightful owner. Passport verification is central to remote onboarding, cross-border payments, and travel services, helping institutions meet KYC/AML rules while lowering manual review. When databases are available (e.g., PKD or national services), results gain added assurance; where not, multi-signal checks (image forensics, chip read, metadata) provide resilience.
