How United Kingdom Document Verification Works

Verify a United Kingdom identity document in three steps — through the REST API, a no-code DocuPass flow, or our mobile SDKs.

Capture the Document

Your user photographs or uploads their United Kingdom document in your app or website, or through a DocuPass verification link you share with them.

2

Extract & Authenticate

ID Analyzer reads the MRZ, barcodes, and visual zone with OCR, runs authenticity checks on the United Kingdom document, and can match the holder’s selfie with biometric face verification and liveness detection.

3

Get the Result

Structured identity data and a clear verification decision return to your system in seconds — ready for KYC, customer onboarding, age checks, and fraud prevention.
