# Identity Document Verification

## Overview

Document Verification requires your users to take an image of the front and back of their identity document. Biometrid will then run specific checks to determine if the document is valid, belongs to the user, and can be trusted.

### 🔎 Checks

* **Expiration date**

&#x20;     We check if the document is expired.

* **Alteration detection**

&#x20;     We check if the document has been altered or tampered.

* **MRZ elements**&#x20;

&#x20;     We check the correspondence between MRZ data and non-MRZ data.

* **Specific country elements**

&#x20;     We check the correct presence of specific country elements like the title of the document, country symbols, country of emission, European or other region symbols, and more.&#x20;

* **Other security elements**

&#x20;     We check the correct presence of specific security elements like holograms, small photos, filet bar, background text patterns, and more.

* **Document dimensions**

&#x20;     We check the depth and margins of the document.

* **Data integrity**

&#x20;     We look for the correct presence of data like security numbers, tax numbers, and health numbers.
