User identification document verifications
Systems and methods for user identification (ID) document verification are provided. An exemplary method includes receiving an image of an ID document. A determination is made whether the ID document includes a near-field communications (NFC) chip that stores an ID photo associated with the ID document. Based on this determination, the ID document is verified by selectively using at least one of NFC chip authentication and optical authentication, to obtain a first verification result. Also, a photo of the user is captured by a camera associated with the client device. The method further includes receiving the photo of the user by a service provider; comparing the photo stored on the ID document with the photo of the user; based on the comparison, providing a second verification result for the ID document; and transmitting both the first and second verification results to the client device.
1 . A computer-implemented method for user identification (ID) verification, the method comprising:
receiving, by a client device, an image of an ID document;
based on the image of the ID document received, determining whether the ID document includes a near-field communications (NFC) chip that stores an ID photo associated with the ID document;
based on the determination of whether the ID document includes the NFC chip, verifying the ID document by selectively using at least one of NFC chip authentication and optical authentication, to obtain a first verification result;
capturing a photo of a user by a camera associated with the client device;
receiving the photo of the user by a service provider;
comparing, by the service provider, the ID photo stored on the ID document with the photo of the user;
based on the comparison, providing a second verification result for the ID document; and
transmitting both the first and second verification results to the client device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the ID photo that is stored on the ID document shares matching characteristics with the photo of the user, then the second verification result comprises a verification of identity of an owner of the ID document.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising automatically populating an electronic form or fields associated with a web resource, with data of the verified ID document.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an image of the ID document by the service provider from the client device; and
confirming presence of the ID document based on the image.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a p hotograph of the user of the client device and confirming the user, by comparing the photograph of the user to a stored image of the user using facial recognition.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein when the photograph of the user matches the stored image of the user, the client device is linked to the ID document based on a user identity packet.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining of whether the ID document includes the NFC chip is performed using at least one of the client device, the service provider, a cloud network and any combination thereof.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ID document comprises one of a government issued ID, a permanent residency ID card, a student ID, an employment ID, a driver's license, a passport, and a travel document.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the received image of the ID document is a picture or a scan.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ID photo includes a digital passphoto of an owner of the ID document.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ID document includes a machine readable zone (MRZ).
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
reading the MRZ of the ID document; and
based on the reading of the MRZ of the ID document, determining a date of birth of an owner of the ID document and a date of expiry for the ID document.
13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein upon verifying the ID document by using at least one of the NFC chip authentication and the optical authentication, the ID document is logically associated to the client device.
14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a determination that the ID document includes the NFC chip, selecting the NFC chip authentication for verification of the ID document.
15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a determination that the ID document does not include the NFC chip, selecting the optical authentication for verification of the ID document.
16 . A system for user identification (ID) document verification, the system comprising:
a client device for capturing an image of an ID document;
at least one processor associated with the client device; and
a memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor performs a method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, an image of an ID document;
based on the image of the ID document received, determining whether the ID document includes a near-field communications (NFC) chip that stores an ID photo associated with the ID document;
based on the determination of whether the ID document includes the NFC chip, verifying the ID document by selectively using at least one of NFC chip authentication and optical authentication, to obtain a first verification result;
capturing a photo of a user by a camera associated with the client device;
receiving the photo of the user by a service provider;
comparing, by the service provider, the ID photo stored on the ID document with the photo of the user;
based on the comparison, providing a second verification result for the ID document; and
transmitting both the first and second verification results to the client device.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein when the photo that is stored on the ID document shares matching characteristics with the photo of the user, then the second verification result comprises a verification of identity of an owner of the ID document.
18 . The system of claim 17 , the method further comprising automatically populating an electronic form or fields associated with a web resource, with data of the verified ID document.
19 . The system of claim 16 , the method further comprising:
receiving an image of the ID document by the service provider from the client device; and
confirming presence of the ID document based on the image.
20 . The system of claim 16 , the method further comprising receiving a photograph of the user of the client device and confirming the user, by comparing the photograph of the user to a stored image of the user using facial recognition.
21 . The system of claim 20 , wherein when the photograph of the user matches the stored image of the user, the client device is linked to the ID document based on a user identity packet.
22 . The system of claim 16 , wherein determining of whether the ID document includes the NFC chip is performed using at least one of the client device, the service provider, a cloud network and any combination thereof.
23 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the ID document comprises one of a government issued ID, a permanent residency ID card, a student ID, an employment ID, a driver's license, a passport, and a travel document.
24 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the received image of the ID document is a picture or a scan.
25 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the ID photo includes a digital passphoto of an owner of the ID document.
26 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the ID document includes a machine readable zone (MRZ).
27 . The system of claim 26 , the method further comprising:
reading the MRZ of the ID document; and
based on the reading of the MRZ of the ID document, determining a date of birth of an owner of the ID document and a date of expiry for the ID document.
28 . The system of claim 16 , wherein upon verifying the ID document by using at least one of the NFC chip authentication and the optical authentication, the ID document is logically associated to the client device.
29 . The system of claim 16 , wherein, based on a determination that the ID document includes the NFC chip, selecting the NFC chip authentication for verification of the ID document.
30 . The system of claim 16 , wherein, based on a determination that the ID document does not include the NFC chip, selecting the optical authentication for verification of the ID document.
