Identity verification has always meant choosing between friction and fraud

Most solutions rely on either data or documents. Neither can deliver both high conversion and strong fraud prevention.

Impacts conversion

Document-based verification

Catches more fraud, but adds friction that drives users away. Up to 40% never complete the process.

Weakens fraud prevention

Non-document verification

Keeps users moving, but allows synthetic and stolen identities to pass undetected.

The problem

The tradeoff has become too costly to ignore

Added friction continues to drive legitimate users away, while record-high data breaches have made high-quality synthetic and stolen identities easy to create at scale. Data and document checks were never meant to stop real stolen PII.

Introducing GovFaceMatch

The only solution that delivers higher conversion without compromising identity assurance

Built with state DMVs, enabling real-time biometric matching against official government records to confirm identity and stop AI-assisted fraud.

ID barcode scan + selfie

Users scan the back of their government ID and take a live selfie in two simple guided steps.

Verify against DMV records

The selfie is matched to the issuing DMV's official record within a secure environment.

Real-time result

A verification result is returned instantly, delivering a fast, defensible, and auditable outcome.

Benefits

What changes when identity is verified against DMV records

Direct verification at the source transforms conversion and fraud performance.

  • Lower user friction

    Complete verification with a barcode scan and selfie. No document capture required.

  • Stronger protection

    Verify the person, not just the data. Stops synthetic identities and AI-assisted fraud that bypass traditional checks.

  • Built-in privacy

    Matching occurs within the DMV’s secure environment. No biometric data is stored and no government PII is shared.
