GovID & Selfie Match with Deepfake Detection
Checker Category: Identity — GovID + Biometric
Supported Countries: 180+ countries; 5,000+ document types (passport, driver's license, ID card)
Overview
GovID & Selfie Match with Deepfake Detection extends the standard document + selfie verification flow by adding Deepfake detection analysis that conventional liveness detection cannot catch. This analysis catches tactics such as pre-recorded video injection during selfie capture, AI-generated documents and camera spoofing.
Role in Layered Verification
Strongest identity checker — combines document authenticity with biometric liveness. Typically used as step-up from phone-based methods (Identity Verification) or as primary method for high-assurance flows (NIST IAL2). Requires async capture session delivery (SMS link, QR code, or direct link).
End User Requirements
Government-issued photo ID. Mobile device with camera. Adequate lighting for document capture and selfie.
