Flow Step: Identity Verification

The Identity Verification step in Rillis helps you comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations. It verifies your users by analyzing both their identity documents and biometric data.

How It Works

📸 Document Data Extraction

Rillis uses advanced computer vision and artificial intelligence to extract and validate key information from the identity documents your users submit. This includes:

Document number

Family names and given names

Date of birth

Document issue date and expiry date

Gender

Personal ID number

Country of issuance

Our Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology ensures a seamless and accurate data capture process—even for images that are blurry, low resolution, or missing machine-readable zones (MRZ). This robust analysis is multilingual and optimized for over 20 languages.

⚠️ Risk Analysis & Warnings

Once the document and biometric data are extracted, Rillis performs in-depth risk checks to detect issues like:

Unrecognized document

Expired document

Mismatch between country or type

Age verification failed

Signs of document forgery (image edits, fake ID, etc.)

Inconsistencies in user details (e.g., name mismatch)

This comprehensive review helps protect your business from fraud and ensures compliance.

⚙️ Personalization & Controls

You can tailor the identity verification step by:

Restricting allowed document types

Blocking expired documents

Setting age restrictions (e.g., minimum 18 years)

Specifying accepted countries

Enabling file uploads if needed

📈 Verification Results

At the end of the process, Rillis assigns a final status (e.g., COMPLETED, REJECTED, EVALUATION) and provides detailed results, including any warnings raised during analysis.

Streamline onboarding for legitimate users with valid IDs.
