Background Screening with Identity Verification, Fraud Defense & Digital Credentials

The technology landscape is evolving rapidly, and so are the tools candidates use to circumvent traditional background screening. Today’s identity checks can be compromised by sophisticated Photoshop edits, deepfakes, stolen credentials, and screen replays.

That is why vID was developed – to verify the real person, with a real government ID, in real time.

Why This Matters: Concerning Industry Statistics

  • By 2028, 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide may be fake, with 6% of job candidates admitting to interview fraud, including impersonation or proxy interviewing
  • Over 8 million deepfakes were shared online by the end of 2025
  • Deloitte estimates AI-enabled email and identity fraud losses will reach $11.5 billion by 2027

Fraud is no longer theoretical—it is ever-present and operational.

Identity Verification Screening - Reliable Background Screening

Here is How vID Helps Stop Deepfakes & Synthetic Identity Fraud

vID provides advanced identity assurance designed specifically for today’s threat environment.

  1. Liveness & Deepfake Detection

vID uses real-time biometric liveness analysis and advanced deep learning models to detect:

  • Pre-recorded videos
  • Face swaps and synthetic media
  • Masks, photos, and screen-based replay attacks

The solution analyzes facial landmarks, head movement, image depth, texture, and motion consistency. Each session generates a confidence score and captures audit-ready images of your candidates. Only live, authentic interactions pass.

  1. Document Authenticity & Tamper Detection

vID performs forensic-level ID inspection, including:

  • Barcode and data decoding
  • Passports, visas, and identification card code (MRZ) and date logic validation
  • Hologram and watermark analysis
  • Screenshot and photocopy detection

vID prevents the use of fake IDs, altered real IDs, and reused screenshots.

  1. Biometric-to-ID Matching

vID matches the live biometric capture (selfie) to the ID photo using advanced image-quality controls and similarity thresholds (e.g., matching a selfie and an ID photo), stopping borrowed identities and look-alike substitutions.

  1. Device & Network Intelligence

vID evaluates device and network signals such as:

  • IP geolocation anomalies
  • Proxy and VPN usage
  • Disposable or alias email patterns

This helps identify coordinated, scripted, or high-risk fraud attempts.
