Enhancing Liveness Checks with Gestures: A New Era in Identity Verification
Shufti Pro, a leading provider of identity verification solutions, has taken a significant step forward by introducing gestures as part of its liveness checks. This innovative approach aims to further enhance the security and authenticity of document verification processes.
Document Verification
Shufti Pro’s specialized Document Verification service performs thorough checks on the authenticity of submitted documents. The verification process includes:
- Security features such as holograms, tapered/crumpled edges, doctored elements, form inconsistencies, document expiration, MRZ, reflected colors, and microprinting
Required Documents for Verification
In Suriname, proof of identity and address are essential for verification purposes. The following documents are accepted:
Identity Verification
- Identity Card
- Passport
- Driving License
- Another valid document from the country of origin that meets statutory requirements
Address Verification
- A current utility bill (issued no more than three months ago)
- Bank statement (issued no more than three months ago)
- Document issued by a government department showing the end-user’s address and name
Timing of Verification
Identity Verification is not limited to a one-time process. It is required in multiple instances as per recommendations, which depend on:
- Client requirements
- Communication with Shufti Pro
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and Enhanced Due Diligence
As part of Enhanced Due Diligence requirements under Suriname regulations, clients must determine if their customers are PEPs or exhibit a higher risk profile. To fulfill this obligation, Shufti Pro provides its AML Screening service, which:
- Screens an individual’s selected ID attributes against watchlists of global regulatory authorities and compromised PEPs
Reliance on External Services
Suriname regulations allow clients to seek the services of a third-party provider for due diligence measures. In such cases, Shufti Pro will serve as the external third-party service provider, collecting all necessary data without undue delay.
Record Retention
As per Suriname regulations, clients are required to retain data for not less than seven years. This is part of their AML and KYC obligations for due diligence purposes. Clients remain liable to collect all necessary information without undue delay in cases where this information is processed, collected, and managed by a relevant third-party provider.
Conclusion
By incorporating gestures into its liveness checks, Shufti Pro has further enhanced the security and authenticity of document verification processes. The company’s commitment to compliance with Suriname regulations ensures that clients can rely on its services for secure and reliable identity verification solutions.
