Government ID images
High-resolution front (and back when available) images of the ID, showing issuer, document number, expiration date, and holder name to enable credential analysis and MRZ/barcode checks.
A KYC Photo Document centralizes identity evidence—photo ID, selfie, metadata, and consent—reducing fraud risk, speeding account opening, and creating a reproducible audit trail for regulatory review under AML and customer due diligence rules.
The KYC Photo Document is completed and reviewed by a mix of external customers and internal compliance teams depending on workflow and risk tier.
Clear role separation—who uploads, who verifies, who retains—helps meet regulatory and recordkeeping obligations.
The individual subject to verification. You must provide government ID and a live selfie, consent to electronic processing, and attest that information is accurate. Mismatched data can delay verification or trigger manual review.
An employee or designated reviewer authorized to accept or escalate identity evidence. This person documents the decision, notes any additional checks required, and retains the record per policy and regulatory timelines.
High-resolution front (and back when available) images of the ID, showing issuer, document number, expiration date, and holder name to enable credential analysis and MRZ/barcode checks.
A recent selfie or recorded liveness challenge that can be matched against the ID photo using facial-comparison tools; include method used and match score if automated.
A clear consumer disclosure and consent to electronic processing and identity checks, including data sharing and retention terms required for consumer-facing transactions.
Timestamps, IP address, device type, upload method, and hash or checksum to show when and where files were created and to preserve chain of custody.
Structured result from automated checks (pass, fail, manual review) with reasons and any secondary checks performed, enabling auditability and escalation.
Record of how long the images will be stored, who can access them, and applicable legal basis for retention consistent with regulatory obligations.
