Built for modern onboarding

Instant ID is a secure and reliable identity verification tool that checks government-issued photo IDs in real time. It helps businesses confirm a user’s identity quickly and accurately by analysing ID documents such as passports, driving licences, or national identity cards.

This tool removes the need for manual reviews and long delays. Instead, users simply upload a photo of their ID, and Instant ID scans and verifies the document within seconds. It checks the layout, security features, and data to confirm the document is real and has not been tampered with.

How it works

The process is simple and user-friendly. A customer uploads a clear image of their ID, and the system gets to work instantly. It checks for signs of fraud, missing data, or document tampering using advanced image analysis.

The result is sent back to your platform in seconds, showing whether the document is valid and verified. Here is an example of the response:

{
  "document_type": "passport",
  "country": "GB",
  "verified": true,
  "expiry_check": "valid",
  "fraud_check": "clear",
  "timestamp": "2025-04-14T11:08:00Z"

This tells you what type of document was used, where it was issued, and whether it passed key verification checks. You can use this data to approve or reject users with confidence.

Built for onboarding at scale

Instant ID makes it easy to meet ID verification standards without slowing down the customer journey. Whether you are onboarding ten users or ten thousand, the system handles volume with speed and consistency.

It is also fully compliant with major regulations including KYC and AML, helping you stay on the right side of industry rules. This makes it ideal for regulated sectors such as finance, legal, and lending.

Photo ID verification matters

Verifying photo ID is one of the most important steps in onboarding. But traditional checks can be slow, costly, and open to human error. Instant ID removes that friction by turning ID checks into a simple, automated step.

With fraud on the rise and user expectations changing fast, having a strong, fast IDV system in place helps protect your business and improve conversion. It means you can trust who you are dealing with, right from the start.
