Identity verification from jenID is versatile. It can be used to verify the authenticity of a large repertoire of official documents. jenID uses a database that contains verified documents as a template and compares them with a photo of the ID document provided. At the same time, the “Liveness Detection” process uses facial comparison to ensure that the user in front of the camera is also the person on the actual ID. As such, the jenID process provides maximum security and data protection with the fastest possible implementation.
