Veridas’ Drivers License Verification process combines document data extraction, facial biometrics, and certified liveness detection to confirm authenticity and ownership. It can also validate license details against official databases like AAMVA, enabling fast and secure user identity verification.
Drivers License Verification: Fast, Secure, and Global
Driver license verification is no longer a manual task. With Veridas, organizations can validate the authenticity and ownership of a driver’s license in real time using biometric verification, document validation, and official database checks. This ensures not just that a license is real, but that the person presenting it is its rightful holder.
Veridas’ solution leverages proprietary AI to verify documents from over 7,000 sources worldwide, including all U.S. states and Canadian provinces. Combined with high-accuracy face matching and certified liveness detection, it provides a fully digital, fraud-resistant identity verification process.
Veridas enables:
- Real-time validation of driver licenses from over 25 countries
- Seamless integration via API or SDK (XpressID)
- Proprietary biometric engine with NIST-rated accuracy
- Full compliance with GDPR, BIPA, CCPA, and eIDAS
DL Verification with AAMVA Data Matching
In the United States, Veridas connects directly with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) to verify license data. The Driver License Data Verification (DLDV) service cross-checks information from the PDF417 barcode or OCR fields with the issuing DMV’s records, adding a powerful trust layer.
This process is executed in milliseconds and flags mismatched, expired, or altered licenses before onboarding is finalized. Only businesses operating within the U.S. with servers hosted domestically can use this integration, in full alignment with AAMVA policies.
AAMVA integration provides:
- Official DMV validation in 47+ U.S. states
- Detection of expired, stolen, or forged licenses
- Compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) mandates
- Use cases in banking, car rental, and gig economy onboarding
Driver Licence Verification Powered by Veridas CORE
At the core of Veridas’ solution is 100% proprietary identity verification technology. This includes optical character recognition (OCR), document authenticity validation, face matching, and liveness detection. Each component is developed and maintained in-house, ensuring full control, customization, and performance.
Veridas supports license formats across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the EU, decoding data from PDF417 barcodes, MRZ lines, and visual inspection zones (VIZ). These are cross-referenced for consistency and compared against trusted sources for maximum document integrity.
Veridas CORE includes:
- OCR engine trained on over 7,000 document types
- Document validation against national standards
- Passive and active liveness detection (iBeta Level 1 & 2)
- Barcode + visual field cross-check and manipulation detection
Verification for Driving Licence Ownership Using Facial Biometrics
Veridas doesn’t stop at verifying if a license is real—it ensures it belongs to the person presenting it. By comparing a selfie to the photo printed on the driver’s license, the system confirms the identity with >99.9% accuracy. The biometric comparison is completed in under one second, even on mobile devices.
This matching is based on NIST-evaluated AI models and is executed using encrypted, non-reversible facial vectors. These vectors preserve user privacy and are only used for the purpose of that verification session.
Biometric comparison ensures:
- Match between selfie and license photo
- Resistance to deepfakes and manipulated documents
- NIST FRTE-compliant performance
- Privacy-preserving encryption of facial data
Check Driving Licence Number Online with Confidence
A core need in identity workflows is the ability to check driver license numbers for correctness and legitimacy. Veridas parses license data and validates license numbers using format rules, barcode decoding, and official sources like AAMVA (U.S.) or INE (Mexico).
This ensures that the license not only appears valid, but structurally and logically matches official issuance protocols. It adds an additional layer of verification for businesses needing robust onboarding and fraud detection.
Veridas verifies license numbers by:
- Validating per jurisdictional structure and rules
- Checking against barcode and MRZ contents
- Cross-referencing with issuing state databases
- Flagging reused, expired, or mismatched licenses
Check Someone’s Driver’s License with Liveness Detection
Preventing impersonation is critical when verifying documents remotely. Veridas integrates certified liveness detection technology to ensure the selfie is of a live person—not a mask, video, or deepfake. It works in both passive and active formats, offering flexibility per risk level.
This process is transparent to the user but powerful under the hood. Combined with Veridas’ injection attack detection (virtual cam detection, emulator use, spoofing), it enables organizations to trust every identity process from any device.
Liveness detection blocks:
- Photo-to-screen attacks
- Printed photo and latex mask attempts
- AI-generated deepfakes
- Virtual cam and emulator-based injections
Verify a Driver’s License with Multi-Document Comparison
Some identity flows require more than one document to meet compliance or security thresholds. Veridas supports multi-document verification, allowing customers to upload a driver’s license alongside another ID (passport, national ID) and confirm they belong to the same person.
Facial comparison is run between both document photos, and cross-validation of textual data (name, DOB, address) enhances identity assurance. This is especially valuable in use cases like car rental, real estate, or international onboarding.
Multi-doc support enables:
- Driver license + passport cross-validation
- Face photo match between multiple IDs
- Improved assurance for high-value services
- Detection of recycled or synthetic identities
Drivers License Verification for the Mobility Industry
Carsharing, micromobility, and rental platforms must validate licenses quickly and reliably. Veridas allows users to scan their license and selfie once to unlock e-scooters, cars, or ride-hailing accounts securely and in compliance with local regulations.
Top platforms like Cabify, Acciona, and Zity rely on Veridas to onboard drivers and users with confidence. The technology reduces friction, cuts fraud, and integrates seamlessly with native apps, web views, and kiosks.
Mobility onboarding with Veridas includes:
- Instant driver license validation
- Real-time selfie capture and match
- Onboarding flow conversion rates of >95%
- Compatibility with mobile, web, and kiosk capture
Verify Driver License Number with Built-In Fraud Detection
Veridas is designed not just to validate but to detect. Fraud signals are analyzed at every step—from barcode structure to selfie integrity to biometric duplication. A driver’s license is scanned, parsed, and checked for tampering, format errors, or unusual behavior.
For enterprise clients, Veridas also offers Deduplication Shield, a 1:N biometric search that flags duplicate identities across large user databases. This helps detect organized fraud, synthetic identities, and unauthorized reuse.
Fraud detection features include:
- PDF417 integrity check
- Barcode vs VIZ field match
- Injection + deepfake attack detection
- 1:N face match across existing users
Driver’s License Verification for Age-Restricted Services
Veridas helps companies ensure customers are old enough to access age-restricted products or services. It supports facial-based age estimation and license-based DOB verification. If face-based estimation returns an age under 25, the system requests a license to confirm age.
This two-step process ensures compliance with legal obligations for online gaming, alcohol delivery, or adult platforms—without collecting unnecessary data upfront.
Age verification features include:
- ACCS-certified facial age estimation
- Date of birth extraction from license
- Real-time acceptance or rejection
- Privacy-first design minimizing PII exposure
Verified ID Driver’s License: Privacy-Centric Compliance
Veridas prioritizes data protection. All biometric vectors are encrypted, non-reversible, and stored only if needed. The system supports full audit trails and is certified under ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type II, and iBeta for liveness.
Clients retain full control over storage policies and audit access. Processing is done in real time, and no biometric data is used for model training or shared across customers.
Compliance highlights:
- GDPR, BIPA, CCPA, PSD2-ready
- Biometric vectors: encrypted, ephemeral, isolated
- Certified for liveness, performance, and security
- Privacy by design and default architecture
