Proof of Identity

Instant identity proofing and affirmation—anytime, anywhere.

Easy for your customers. Secure for your business.

Don’t lose your customers to difficult processes.

How many customers do you lose every day at the point of providing proof of identity? Let’s face it, today’s customers won’t spend hours to hand deliver documentation for renewing a driver’s license, opening a new account, or enrolling for services. And it’s expensive to serve them in person. Some DMVs have reported a cost of $20-$60 just to serve one customer at a location!

Your customers trust mobile, and so can you.

Meet your customers in their channel of choice without sacrificing security or efficiency. ABBYY Proof of Identity combines document-centric identify proofing and identify affirmation into a single solution. It’s built on ABBYY’s market-leading mobile capture and intelligent document processing technology that is both easy for your customers to use and secure for your business.

What is identity proofing?

Proof of identity is a critical step in customer onboarding, new account opening, claims, and enrollment processes. It is the point where the customer provides proof of their identity via ID cards, photos, and supporting documents so the business can determine that they are who they say they are.

Gaining confidence in a customer’s identity requires two key steps:

  • proving that the identification document (ID card, driver’s license, etc.) provided is valid and the person is who they say they are (via facial matching), and
  • affirming the data from other sources (via supporting “proof of” documentation).

By 2023, Gartner predicts that 85% of organizations will be using document-centric identity proofing as part of their onboarding workflows, which is an increase from approximately 30% in 2021.

Key features

ID reading technology

ID reading, verification, and authentication

Extracting the data from an ID is only part of ABBYY Proof of Identity. In addition to reading machine readable zones and human readable information on IDs, sophisticated verification also occurs. After automatically detecting the exact variant of the ID presented, ABBYY Proof of Identity verifies the layout, characteristics, and security features within the ID. It also ensures the ID authentic and unaltered.

facial matching

Facial matching and liveness

ABBYY Proof of Identity uses sophisticated facial matching and liveness detection to ensure that your customer is who they say they are. The applicant captures a selfie, and the solution compares it to the headshot on the ID document. The collective non-bias decisioning used in ABBYY’s solution safeguards against the threat of algorithmic bias. Using a best-in-class NIST-rated facial recognition algorithm, we can achieve a non-bias accuracy differential of less than 1% between race and gender.

document processing for identity verification

Support for trailing documents

ABBYY’s leading Intelligent Document Processing technology, ABBYY Vantage, extracts data from customers’ supporting “proof of” documents to affirm their identity. In the ABBYY Marketplace, you can select pre-trained document understanding skills for utility bills, income statements, and more to handle all of your document processing needs. The combination of document-centric identity proofing and identity affirmation provides a complete proof of identity solution.

Features 134 44X44

Fully automated

Using humans in your identity proofing process slows things down. It isn’t scalable, and it often leads to errors. Many studies have clearly demonstrated that human manual review is not only error prone but biased as well. ABBYY Proof of Identify is fully automated, secure, and easily scalable to your needs. It never gets tired or introduces errors at the end of a shift.

Features 188 44X44

Exception handling

While ABBYY Proof of Identify can be run in a fully automated mode, it also has the ability to allow a human to audit certain transactions. While other vendors may have a component that works when everything stays on the happy path, ABBYY Proof of Identify solves the happy path and exception path. This allows you to decide whether you want to keep the process fully automated or involve humans to further audit certain transactions.

Features 280 44X44

Process Intelligence

Understanding your business processes at a level where you can see what is working and what isn’t to clearly identify areas for improvement is critical for delivering an exceptional customer experience. ABBYY Proof of Identify works with ABBYY Timeline, a process mining tool, to help you improve your processes with insight from all of your systems.

ABBYY Proof of Identity enables ABBYY enterprise customers to provide identity proofing capabilities into their workflow and solutions, enabling them to accelerate and automate customer onboarding and customer engagement scenarios. The result is a winning combination of happier end users and more efficient, automated enterprise processes that reduce their risk of exposure.

Identify proofing traditionally focuses on use cases in which an organization is interacting with someone for the first time. Document-centric identify proofing enables organizations to obtain an acceptable level of confidence in a customer’s real-world identify via remote digital channels using a passport, driver’s license, or other identify document, along with a selfie to compare to the headshot within the ID.

ID verification, or ID proofing, usually refers to the act of verifying an ID document is authentic and unaltered. ID authentication can often be confused with the act of authenticating a user (via credentials, an ID) to some system, secure location, etc.

While proof of identify has many use cases, it is often used in Financial Services and Insurance to support an onboarding process. Rather than have new customers be present at a physical location, users can go through an onboarding process remotely. With ABBYY Proof of Identity, customers can be onboarded securely to their financial services or insurance company from anywhere, anytime.

ABBYY Proof of Identity combines identify proofing and identify affirmation components, along with end user capture experience components, to provide an out-of-the box, best-of-breed proof of identify solution. ABBYY Proof of Identify includes ID reading, ID verification, facial matching and liveness detection, support for trailing documents, and more as part of an onboarding, new account, claims, or enrollment process. ABBYY Proof of Identify uses supporting documents to validate that someone is who they say they are, and it uses sophisticated facial matching to prove the person applying is actually who they say they are.

ABBYY Proof of Identify is a part of your overall onboarding process (and likely website/portal) that handles all the customer capture related components. Normally, it caters to use cases where an organization is interacting with someone for the first time. By leveraging mobile web and similar technologies in these cases, an end user is not required to download a mobile app or specifically install anything on their phone.
