Valid Documents for Online KYC

You only need two.

1) Valid ID documents - Passport, Driver's License,

2) Selfie

Questions might arise such as how can those two can be enough for the online identity verification process? It connects to previous related posts such as 'Why Selfie ID Verification for KYC?' and 'Selfie Verification and ID photos for KYC'. When verifying a person, government-approved documents such as a driver's license and passport are needed and usually, they are already a strong tool for the verification process.

ID Photos and Selfie Photos

The photo shown on valid government-approved ID cards works as a foundation for identity verification. Therefore, comparing a face shown on a valid id document and a provided selfie photo works as a stronger tool for the online verification process. It works stronger than a fingerprint or iris.

This is why ARGOS KYC asks users to provide two documents, a valid ID with a photo and a photo of themselves. With the provided information, AI technology will compare and verify whether the information - the photo - does match or not.

Valid Tool for Online Identity Verification

Verifying identities online is valid and trustworthy. This is why more and more finance companies including online banks and virtual asset service providers are actively using online KYC to verify their users. Online leads to lots of great opportunities, however, at the same time can have negative effects due to anonymity.

In this post, we will cover the second reason why selfie verification is good enough to go through the KYC although there is a much stronger tool on identification such as fingerprint and iris.

Registered Identity Information on Government Authority

When verifying identities, KYC solution providers hold the right given by the government authority to look at the individual information.

The government holds individuals' information upon birth. When a child is born, birth registration is done. This is the process of recording a child's birth on a permanent and official record. This is his or her first legal proof of identity.

Based on the registered information, the government holds individual identity data and this is where the KYC service providers use it for the identity verification process.

Photo on ID - The Foundation of Identity Verification

1.Identity information gets registered upon birth.

2.The government applies individuals' privacy information in a particular way.

3.The method of applying information is identical wherever in the world.

4.The biometric information - face photo - on ID stays the same globally.

ARGOS KYC aims on identifying anyone from anywhere globally. Since the most commonly used protocol is checking the information shown on the ID card, online KYC service providers check face photos on the ID document and compare them with submitted selfie photos.

The online KYC process is exactly the same thing as what we have done traditionally. ARGOS KYC is doing the identical process but digitally, without any direct human contact. Experience hassle-free KYC process with ARGOS KYC.
