Verification Checks Blockpass Offers

Blockpass offers a comprehensive suite of verification services to ensure the legitimacy and security of your identity and transactions. Here's a breakdown of what Blockpass verifies:

Identity Document Authenticity Verification

Blockpass verifies identity documents through a structured three-step process.
First, users capture a live image of their identity document. The system then employs an advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine to automatically extract key information, including the Given Name, Family Name, and Date of Birth, while validating the document against official government templates. The OCR also performs a security check on the machine-readable zone (MRZ) to confirm authenticity. In the final step, the document image is analyzed for potential signs of tampering, forgery, or other irregularities.

Blockpass accepts a wide range of government-issued identification documents. See details at List of Identity Documents supported by Blockpass.

Face Match Check

To verify facial identity, users must provide live selfie images from three different angles, which are then compared against the photo in the identity document.

Sanction lists and PEP Screenings

For customers opting for the Plus or Enterprise Plan with AML check, Blockpass scans Sanctions lists, Politically Exposed Person (PEP) records, and Adverse Media data.
