What is Remote Identity Verification?

Remote identity verification authenticates a user’s real‑world identity using their camera and device—no branch visit, no counter window. The workflow: capture a government ID, validate authenticity, compare a selfie to the ID portrait, run liveness so photos, masks, and replays die on the vine. Then correlate the data (MRZ, barcodes, metadata) and context (device, geo, behavior).

Good flows guide the capture process, fail early on fakes, and keep decisions explainable with artifacts and scores. Thresholds flex by risk: low limits glide; payouts and recovery step up. Storage follows policy—encrypt, minimize, delete on schedule—because identity data is radioactive if mishandled.

Trust at camera distance—earned, not assumed.
