Protect trust in digital government
Biometric identity verification that safeguards sensitive data, public funds, and every citizen’s access to services.
We secure identities across the public sector worldwide
AI identity verification and KYC compliance, proven where fraud pressure is highest.
What the industry is up against
Public services face a new era of fraud
85% of identity fraud in 2024 involved deepfakes or generative AI tools (DHS), and North America saw a 1,740% rise in deepfake attacks between 2022 and 2023 (Security.org).
State-scale AI fraud
Cybercriminals, often state-backed, deploy deepfakes, injection attacks, and synthetic identities legacy systems cannot detect.
Stolen and misused PII
With legitimate PII abundant on the dark web, fraudsters impersonate real citizens to reach benefits and public funds.
Security versus accessibility
Stronger verification protects public trust, but outdated approaches slow service delivery and frustrate citizens.
Multi-angle attacks
Organized fraud combines stolen data, fake documents, and altered biometrics to beat single-point defenses. Manual review cannot keep up.

How it works
One identity for every interaction, verified in real time.
Why public-sector agencies choose Incode
Independent layers of defense for every identity
Fraud that adapts will eventually fool any single check. Incode verifies every identity across independent layers, each reading a different signal, in milliseconds. Good customers pass without friction while fraud has to beat every layer at once.
Document verification
AI-powered detection of paper forgeries, screen spoofs, and digitally generated IDs.
See it in actionBiometric liveness
Liveness detection confirms a live person is present and matches the face to the document in milliseconds.
See it in actionAI-generated document detection
Deepsight for Documents catches forged, tampered, and fully synthetic IDs, fraud that template checks and barcode validation were never built to see. 8.8x more fraud caught than document checks alone.

GovFaceMatch verifies a live selfie against DMV records instead of documents, so there's nothing to forge. 6x faster, 20% higher conversion, 150x lower false acceptance vs document-based verification.

FAQ
Common questions about identity verification for the public sector
Still have questions? Talk to an expertWhy do public-sector agencies need identity verification?
85% of identity fraud in 2024 involved deepfakes or generative AI tools (DHS), and North America saw a 1,740% rise in deepfake attacks between 2022 and 2023 (Security.org). Biometric identity verification safeguards sensitive data, public funds, and every citizen’s access to services.
What is agentic fraud, and why does it matter for public-sector agencies?
Agentic fraud is identity fraud run by an autonomous AI agent that generates deepfakes and synthetic documents, submits them, learns from each rejection, and retries at scale. It matters for public-sector agencies because your fraud controls assume attacks are limited by human effort, and this one isn't: it probes until it finds your weakest point, at the cost of compute. Stopping it takes layered defense across both the media and the capture path. Learn more about agentic fraud here.
How does AI identity verification speed up onboarding?
AI identity verification reduces onboarding from days to seconds: it verifies documents and biometrics in a single automated flow, with no manual review queues. That directly improves conversion rates and reduces abandonment at account opening.
How does Incode help with digital ID verification?
Issue and verify digital identity that surpasses NIST 800-63-3 IAL2 standards. Onboard, verify, and authenticate citizens in seconds, end to end.
