Digimarc Document Authentication
The Most Effective Document Scanning, Authentication and Archiving Solution for Driver License and ID Issuers
Digimarc Document Authentication meets REAL ID requirements for capturing and storing identity documents presented by applicants to validate their identity.
Digimarc Document Authentication is part of the Digimarc Identity Validation Suite (IDVS) which provides reliable multi-factor authentication capabilities and is designed specifically for driver license and ID issuers.
The Need for Document Authentication
Most jurisdictions rely on visual inspection of identity documents to determine authenticity. But in today's electronic world, where a PC and color printer can produce a legitimate looking identity document, driver license issuers are finding visual inspection to be inadequate — especially with less familiar documents and credentials from outside their jurisdiction.
Additionally, as the driver license itself becomes more secure and difficult to alter, criminals are turning to the production of false identity documents to illegally obtain legitimate driver licenses. These documents are much easier to fabricate and the Internet continues to be a great marketplace for selling such fake documents.
Digimarc Document Authentication helps guard the integrity of the enrollment process by ensuring that documents presented by applicants to establish their identity are genuine. Driver license and ID issuers can confidently prevent legitimate credentials from being issued to those seeking to commit fraud by reducing subjective, error-prone visual inspection.
Flexibility to Meet your Goals and Budget
Digimarc Document Authentication supports a range of high quality scanning devices so you are assured of exactly what you need to meet your space and budget requirements. The devices are used to capture demographic information from identity documents supplied by the applicant, while simultaneously creating an image for storage purposes. Additionally, IDVS automatically verifies both the machine-readable overt and covert security features found in these documents and cross checks demographic information to reveal any inconsistencies that might indicate identity theft or fraud. Authentication results and document images are archived for future uses such as license renewal or investigations.
Built on a modular and highly flexible architecture, Digimarc Document Authentication is designed to work seamlessly with other Digimarc applications and/or systems and hardware you may already have in place. This architecture enables organizations to craft the ideal solution for any environment or jurisdiction size. And, IDVS is able to authenticate IDMarc digital watermark — a machine-readable security feature currently used in over 55 million driver licenses across the U.S.
The Benefits of Technology without needing to be a Computer Expert
Digimarc Document Authentication is extremely easy to use, even for the less computer-savvy among us, and has a clear and intuitive user interface that operators will quickly embrace. Using the system to objectively authenticate documents reduces the uncertainty operators may feel when they come across a document they suspect is fraudulent, and gives DL issuers confidence that all documents are thoroughly checked and valid. And, with the improved speed, accuracy and efficiency of validating identity documents, Document Authentication ensures you are able to maintain a high level of customer service.
