Reading document data alone isn’t enough to stop identity fraud. FacePlugin’s ID Liveness Detection SDK verifies that the captured ID is a genuine physical document—not a screen display, printout, or altered copy—providing reliable protection against document spoofing.

The SDK detects common signs of document fraud, including screen reflections from digital displays, print patterns found in copied documents, and visual inconsistencies caused by image editing. When combined with ID document recognition and face matching, it strengthens the entire eKYC process while running securely on your own servers or directly on the device.
