What is Identity Verification?

Identity Verification is the process of confirming that an individual or business is who they claim to be before a service is provided or a transaction is completed.

DoxAI’s Identity Verification service combines digital identity verification, verification of identity, business verification, and financial crime controls to help organisations reduce identity fraud, prevent identity theft, meet regulatory obligations, and establish trust with customers and counterparties.

How does the Identity Verification service work?

DoxAI’s Identity Verification service works through a modular, risk-based approach designed for both individuals and businesses.

KYC for individuals are verified using Australian identity verification workflows which includes:

  • Identity document verification
  • Biometric identity verification
  • Liveness detection

Businesses are verified through KYB (Know Your Business) processes that validate registration details, ownership, and control structures.

In addition, AML/CTF compliance checks, PEP screening, sanctions screening, and real-time monitoring are applied to assess and manage ongoing financial crime risk.iEach component can operate independently or as a unified identity verification software platform depending on regulatory and operational requirements.

What are the Key features of Identity Verification?

DoxAI Identity Verification provides a comprehensive ID verification service designed for high-assurance environments.

Key features include verification of identity, identity document verification, business verification KYB, biometric face matching, liveness detection, AML/CTF screening, PEP and sanctions checks, real-time monitoring, identity fraud protection, audit trails, reporting, and seamless system integrations.

These capabilities position DoxAI as a complete identity verification service and document verification service, rather than a single-point solution.

What is KYC?

Know Your Customer (KYC) is a regulatory requirement that requires organisations to verify the identity of individuals before establishing a business relationship.

KYC supports:

  • Prevention of identity fraud and impersonation
  • Detection of suspicious activity
  • Compliance with AML and compliance obligations

In Australia, KYC aligns with AUSTRAC regulations and ARNECC guidelines for taking reasonable steps in identity verification.

How does iVerify perform online identity verification?

iVerify performs online ID verification and digital identity verification through a secure, guided workflow.

Users complete verification by:

  • Uploading proof of identity documents
  • Completing biometric face verification
  • Passing liveness detection checks

Verification outcomes are delivered in real time, enabling businesses to verify identity online instantly while maintaining full audit records.

How does a face match work?

Face matching is a core component of biometric identity verification.

It works by comparing the facial image captured during verification with the photo on the identity document. Advanced algorithms analyse facial features, structure, and patterns to confirm that the person presenting is the legitimate holder of the document.

This significantly reduces the risk of identity theft and impersonation fraud.

What are liveness checks such as eyes and smile?

Liveness checks ensure that identity verification is being performed by a real person and not a spoof attempt.

These checks may include:

  • Eye movement or blinking
  • Smile detection
  • Guided multi-step interactions

Liveness detection prevents fraud techniques such as deepfakes, masks, or replay attacks and is essential for secure identity verification software.

What types of identity documents are supported?

DoxAI supports a wide range of identity document checks and proof of identity documents.

These include government-issued documents such as passports and driver licences. Document verification services assess authenticity, detect tampering, and validate expiry and integrity.

This ensures accurate and reliable identity document verification across Australia and globally.

Does iVerify support ARNECC reasonable steps requirements?

Yes. iVerify supports compliance with ARNECC reasonable steps requirements by providing structured workflows, reliable verification methods, and auditable evidence.

This enables organisations to demonstrate that appropriate measures have been taken to verify identity in regulated environments.

What is KYB?

Know Your Business (KYB) is the process of verifying the identity, legitimacy, and structure of a business entity.

It involves confirming:

  • Company registration details
  • Directors and shareholders
  • Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs)
  • Control and ownership structures

KYB helps prevent business fraud and strengthens AML compliance programs and governance frameworks.

Why is KYB important for compliance and governance?

KYB is critical because corporate structures can be used to conceal ownership, enable financial crime, or facilitate fraud.

By verifying businesses, organisations can:

  • Improve transparency
  • Reduce risk exposure
  • Meet regulatory compliance obligations
  • Strengthen governance and due diligence processes

What business information does DoxAI KYB verify?

DoxAI KYB verifies legal entity details, company registration information, directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners.

It also supports analysis of complex corporate hierarchies and control relationships, enabling organisations to identify hidden risks and ensure complete business verification and compliance.

What is AML CTF verification?

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) verification refers to processes used to identify, assess, and manage financial crime risk.

DoxAI provides advanced AML solutions and AML/CTF compliance capabilities, including:

  • AML screening and risk scoring
  • Identity verification checks
  • Ongoing due diligence

In Australia, AML/CTF obligations are regulated by AUSTRAC and require continuous monitoring.

What is PEP and sanctions screening?

PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening identifies individuals who may present higher risk due to political exposure or influence.

Sanctions screening checks individuals and entities against global restricted lists.

DoxAI performs:

  • PEP checks and enhanced due diligence
  • Sanctions screening (UN, OFAC, EU)
  • Watchlist and adverse media checks

This ensures strong AML and compliance coverage across jurisdictions.

What is live monitoring in Identity Verification?

Live monitoring is the process of continuously reviewing individuals and businesses after onboarding.

It detects:

  • Changes in sanctions status
  • Updates in PEP classification
  • Adverse media or risk indicators

This enables organisations to maintain ongoing compliance and real-time risk visibility.

How does Identity Verification ensure security?

DoxAI Identity Verification applies enterprise-grade security controls to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance.

These include encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, audit logging, and secure processing environments.

Together, these controls support data privacy, regulatory compliance, and secure identity verification operations.
