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.

Documents in the region

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.
