Overview
Physical documents can be forged, altered, or entirely fabricated. Verify Group’s Document Authenticity and Asset Verification tools use a combination of optical character recognition (OCR), AI-powered image analysis, and direct registry lookups to confirm whether a document is genuine. When to use document verification:- Before accepting a national ID, passport, or driver’s licence as proof of identity
- When processing an insurance claim and reviewing submitted supporting documents
- When verifying vehicle ownership for motor insurance underwriting
- When confirming a KRA PIN or business registration number submitted by a customer
Document Authenticity
What documents can be verified?
Verify Group can authenticate the following document types:| Document Type | What is verified |
|---|---|
| National ID | Chip authenticity, printed data integrity, photo match |
| Passport | MRZ line validity, chip data, document not reported lost/stolen |
| Driver’s Licence | Registry lookup confirming the licence is active and not suspended |
| Vehicle Logbook | Ownership chain, current registered owner, lien status |
| KRA PIN Certificate | Active PIN status, registered taxpayer name, compliance status |
| Vehicle Number Plate | Registered vehicle details matching the plate number |
| Custom Documents | Any document type you have configured in your Custom Checks |
Step 1 — Open Document Authenticity

- Select the document type from the dropdown list
- Select the country that issued the document
- Choose the verification scenario (e.g., identity confirmation, ownership verification, compliance screening)
Step 2 — Upload the document

- Drag and drop an image file (JPG, PNG, or PDF) of the document
- Click to browse your computer’s file system and select the file manually
- Scan or photograph the document in good lighting, flat on a surface
- Ensure all four corners of the document are visible
- Make sure the text is sharp and legible — blurry images may produce inaccurate results
- Upload the front and back of two-sided documents (such as national IDs and driver’s licences) as separate files
Step 3 — Review the authenticity result

- A percentage score from 0–100 representing how confident the system is that the document is genuine
- Individual sub-scores for Print Quality, Security Features, Data Consistency, and Registry Match
- All text extracted from the document by OCR — name, ID number, date of birth, expiry date, etc.
- A side-by-side comparison of the extracted data against the information submitted (if a participant record was linked)
- Authentic (green) — the document passed all checks
- Suspicious (amber) — one or more checks flagged a potential issue; manual review recommended
- Rejected (red) — the document shows clear signs of tampering or forgery
An Authentic result means the document passed automated checks. It does not replace a physical inspection by a trained document examiner for high-stakes decisions. For critical cases, always combine automated verification with a manual review.
