Passport and Driving Licence MRZ Validation Service

On some occasions full eKYC is not always possible; it maybe that the individual is not registered on the electoral role or has no footprint at a Credit Reference Agency (CRA). When requesting documents as an alternative method of verifying a person’s identity a Passport or Driving Licence MRZ validation check can provide an extra level of due diligence to your onboarding processes.

The MRZ (machine readable zone) within the document is read and using the codes built into the documents it can be compared and verified against the identity details provided.

There are several check digits as well as key information held within the MRZ that will indicate if the document is not authentic or may have been tampered with.

Benefits:

• Provides an extra layer of due diligence during customer on-boarding.
• Document is not required to be present.
• Most countries globally follow the ICAO standardized passport MRZ algorithm format enabling validation internationally.
• Cost effective and frictionless to the consumer.
