Document and biometric capture experience

March 31, 2021

When a user experiences our document and biometric verification we guide them through a simple process, typically using their mobile device.

Here are the steps a user takes:

Select an ID type and issuing country
Take a photo of the front of their identity document (ID)
Take a photo of the back of their ID
They take a static or video selfie

We then analyze the captures using Atlas™ AI to ensure the identity document is genuine, and the biometric matches the photo on the ID (and hasn't been spoofed).

Looking to improve your capture experience?

Learn more about our Smart Capture SDKs — they're designed with features like real-time feedback, multi-frame capture, cross-device capability, and robust accessibility features to make identity verification simple for everyone. You can try them out for free as part of our Onfido Studio trial program.
