Feature Overview
Everything You Need to Verify an Identity Document
A complete document verification stack, from OCR reading to ongoing KYC, in one platform.
Document Reading
Extract every field (visual zone, MRZ, and barcode), cross-checked automatically.
Document Authenticity
Confirm the document is genuine: template match, hologram detection, microprint integrity.
Document Liveness
Reject screen captures, printed copies, and portrait substitutions before they reach review.
Capture Quality Scoring
Score focus, brightness, and resolution. Reject poor-quality captures before extraction runs.
Risk Policy Engine
Route sessions by risk level. Define auto-decline triggers, manual review rules, and custom thresholds.
Ongoing KYC
Track document expiry automatically. Flip user status and notify your team before a regulator does.
Document Reading
Every field, read three ways.
Visual zone OCR, MRZ checksum parsing, and barcode decoding run in parallel on every document, then cross-validated against each other. Any mismatch surfaces as a structured warning, not a silent failure.
Document Authenticity
Passing OCR isn't enough.
Template matching, hologram detection, portrait integrity checks, and biographic tamper analysis run on every submission, so a convincing-looking document still can't get through if it isn't genuine.
Document Liveness
The original document, or nothing.
Screen captures, printed copies, and images saved from a camera roll are blocked before any other check runs. Only a physical document held in natural lighting gets through.
Capture Quality
Bad images don't reach extraction.
Focus, brightness, and resolution are scored before OCR runs. Images that don't meet your thresholds are rejected immediately, cutting failed reads and manual review cycles before they happen.
Risk & Routing
Your compliance rules, enforced automatically.
Define exactly what gets approved, declined, or flagged for review: per product, per country, per document type. No custom code. No ambiguity.
Ongoing KYC
Verification doesn't end at onboarding.
When a document expires, Hypersign flips the user's status, fires a webhook, and triggers re-verification automatically, keeping your records compliant without anyone on your team lifting a finger.
NFC Chip Reading
Verified by the government that issued it.
Hypersign reads the NFC chip inside ePassports and electronic IDs, then verifies its signature against the issuing government's public key. No forger can replicate a government signature; it's the highest assurance level available for document verification.

Compliance & Certifications
Verification That Satisfies Regulators
Certifications
Regulatory Frameworks
Government Recognition: Spain's financial regulators (Tesoro, SEPBLAC, and Banco de España) have formally attested that Hypersign's verification process is safer than in-person verification. This is the only such attestation issued by an EU member-state government to a digital identity provider.
Fraud Prevention
200+ Fraud Signals on Every Session
ID verification fraud does not come from one direction. Hypersign layers multiple independent detection methods so that attackers who defeat one check are stopped by another.
Layer 1: Document-Level
- Template matching against certified reference database
- Security feature detection: holograms, microprint, watermarks
- Portrait integrity: substituted portraits detected
- Biographic data tamper via print-layer artefact analysis
- Document liveness: screen captures and printouts blocked
Layer 2: Data-Level
- MRZ checksum validation (character-by-character)
- Cross-validation: visual zone, MRZ, and barcode
- Date logic checks (issue date, expiry, age consistency)
- Issuing state consistency (document number format)
Layer 3: Session-Level
- Duplicate face detection across all account sessions
- Duplicate document number detection
- Device & IP risk scoring (VPN, Tor, proxy, emulator)
- Velocity checks (multiple submissions, same device)
- Blocklist matching: face hash, document number, device fingerprint
Layer 4 Biometric (with Liveness + Face Match)
- Passive liveness: real person vs. printed photo or screen replay
- Active liveness: challenge-response to defeat video replay
- Deepfake detection: AI-generated faces and face-swap attacks
- 1:1 face match: live selfie matched to document portrait
