Introducing ID-Detect

We're thrilled to unveil the newest enhancement to Melissa ID that promises to elevate the security, convenience, and seamlessness of identity verification for your clients and their end-users.

This year, we've refined our results interpretation and bolstered our document analysis capabilities with a powerful new feature: ID-Detect.

ID-Detect

ID-Detect is now available for integration into your Melissa ID solution, providing a robust defense against prevalent forms of document fraud. It also offers detailed insights for each verification attempt, enhancing review processes.

Research indicates that up to 90% of document fraud attempts involve one of the following methods:

  • Screen Recapture: Digital reproductions of identity documents created using devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computer monitors.
  • Photocopy: Copies of documents produced from digital images captured via cameras, copiers, or scanners.
  • Portrait Substitution: Fraudulent facial photos superimposed onto the portraits in legitimate ID documents.

Enabling ID-Detect enhances document verification, demonstrating a detection rate of up to 99% for fraudulent documents for one attack vector*. This ensures a higher level of confidence in verifying the physical presence of a document rather than a mere reproduction.

Advantages of ID-Detect Include:

  • Informed Decision-Making: Verification processes proceed only with documents confirmed to be physically present and verified against set internal benchmarks.
  • Reduced False Positives: Implementing ID-Detect significantly lowers the rate of false positives during the document verification of legitimate clients.

Clear and Detailed Verification Outcomes

Each submission undergoes the ID-Detect analysis, with the results clearly outlined in the Client Due Diligence report. This not only simplifies result interpretation but also provides in-depth insights into any verification failures, aiding in informed decision-making.

Activating ID-Detect

Incorporating ID-Detect into your verification process aligns with the latest regulatory compliance standards, ensuring peace of mind in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Enable ID-Detect today to enrich the user experience without altering the existing workflow at all for your end-users.
