Socure Enhances ID Verification via Selfie Biometrics Recheck

"Identity verification company Socure has launched a new feature to its Document Verification (DocV) product, enabling selfie biometric reverification to validate return online consumers. This innovative technology integrates Level 2 NIST PAD-compliant biometric liveness detection to prevent spoofing attempts such as face masks, image-of-an-image, and deepfakes.

The Selfie Reverification feature can detect age discrepancies between the photo and the credential, ensuring that the user is indeed the account holder. Moreover, it can match a new selfie with the previously verified photo submitted during biometric onboarding with a 99.9 percent true match rate.
