LexisNexis Risk Solutions

TrueID®

LexisNexis® TrueID® helps organizations instantly authenticate identity documents including passports, driver’s licences and ID cards. TrueID can be used via PC, web, or mobile, as a PC application or web service, hosted or self-hosted using your existing hardware, and in face-to-face transactions.

In today’s landscape, fake identity documents can be easy to obtain and hard to detect with the human eye. TrueID uses patented algorithms to run forensic tests based on the resolution of the image and the document characteristics. Our patented global ID document library is updated regularly with new templates and security feature changes, so you have access to the latest ID formats anytime, anywhere.

While manual inspections can take up to 5 minutes per ID, TrueID can returns results in a matter of seconds. Plus, automation means you don’t have to ramp up your workforce as volume increases. TrueID can help you to fight fraud and improve your customers’ experience.

How does it work?

Capture an image of the ID document with a mobile camera, webcam or on-premise scanner.

The image is securely sent to a hosted document authentication service for validation or immediately authenticated on a PC.

Automated forensic tests using a patented ID library check and identify suspicious items that may be invisible to the naked eye.

Optical character recognition (OCR) and barcode decryption extract the biographic data quickly and accurately

Extracted data can be used to pre-populate forms and simplify the identity proofing process.
