Checks
The five verification checks and what each one proves.
When you create a session you choose which checks to run. Each returns a
result and, where relevant, a score.
The five checks
| Check | Proves | Needs |
|---|---|---|
DOCUMENT | The ID is authentic; extracts its data | A photo of the document |
MRZ | The machine-readable zone is valid and consistent | Document with an MRZ |
NFC | The chip data is genuine and untampered | Document with an NFC chip |
LIVENESS | A real, live person is present (anti-spoofing) | A selfie capture |
FACE_MATCH | The selfie matches the document portrait | Document + selfie |

Depending on the document type (national ID, passport, residence permit), the portal captures one or both sides — the front for the portrait, the back for the MRZ. AveTrust adapts the capture flow automatically.
