Five verification checks

We run five verifications, which can result in either a pass or a fail. Here’s a look at the data verifications we perform:

Name Match

We compare if the applicants first name on the ID is consistent with what they provided on the rental application.

Date of Birth Match 

We compare if the applicants date of birth on the ID is consistent with what they provided on the rental application.

Valid ID

We verify the authenticity of government IDs by using OCR to extract and compare data, detecting holograms and security features, scanning barcodes, using facial recognition, cross-referencing with databases, employing machine learning algorithms, and sometimes conducting manual human reviews. These combined methods ensure that the ID presented is genuine and not counterfeit.

Valid Selfie

The selfie check uses facial recognition and liveness detection to ensure the selfie is real-time, matches facial features, and adjusts for lighting and angles, providing immediate feedback on the match. This process confirms the identity of the person presenting the ID.

Selfie matches ID photo

We detect if facial features in the selfie provided and government ID are a match.
