Paper forgery
Altered text, glued-in photos, and reprinted cards. The classic fake, and still everywhere.
The threat
Fraud evolved. So did the documents.
Fakes moved from the copy shop to the cloud. Paper forgeries became screen replays, and now generative AI mass-produces synthetic IDs that look flawless to the human eye.
Screen replay
A genuine ID replayed from a phone or monitor, complete with staged reflections and glare.
AI-generated
A document fabricated from scratch by generative AI: correct fonts, plausible layout, no original.

How it works
35+ ML models. One pass.
Every document flows through the full battery in seconds: read, authenticated, and proven to belong to a real, present person.
Smart capture
Verification your users don't fight
The capture experience decides whether people finish. Each experience below is tuned to get every user to a clean result on the first try.
-
Real-time feedback
Live guidance corrects framing, glare, and focus before the shot is ever taken, so users never get stuck.
-
Adaptive capture
Incode auto-detects the document and fires the shutter the instant the frame is readable, on any camera.
-
Leading OCR
Proprietary OCR reads every field on the ID, and does so 25% more accurately than open-source engines.
-
Barcode and MRZ
Decodes PDF417 barcodes and machine-readable zones, then checks them against the printed data.
-
NFC chip reading
Reads the encrypted chip inside e-passports and modern IDs for the highest level of assurance available.
Deepsight for Documents
The AI-forgery frontier
Generative AI doesn't just fake faces, it fabricates documents. Deepsight for Documents guards the document layer itself.
It flags the forged IDs and passports that traditional tools miss, spotting the artifacts invisible to the human eye. AI-assisted fraud is climbing from a quarter of all attempts toward half this year, and it hits the document layer first.

Global coverage
See every document as one 4,600+ document types, 200+ countries and territories.
Tell Incode which documents to accept. The odd fonts, country-specific layouts, and security features are all handled automatically.
- Always current The template library updates continuously as governments issue new and redesigned IDs.
- New IDs in days Our in-house labeling team can teach Incode a new document template in as little as five days.
- Instant classification AI classifies each ID on sight and matches it to the right template automatically.

What is document verification?
It is the automated process of confirming that an identity document, a passport, driver's license, or national ID, is genuine, unaltered, and belongs to the person presenting it.
How does AI document verification work?
OCR extracts the data fields, machine-learning models detect forgery signals (font inconsistencies, tampering, security-feature anomalies), and the extracted identity is cross-checked against the person's live biometric match, all in one pass.
Which documents and countries are supported?
4,600+ document types from 200+ countries, passports, national IDs, driver's licenses, residence permits, and visas, each verified against its official format, with AI-powered capture guidance to reduce user errors.
What's the difference between document verification and document fraud detection?
Verification confirms a document is authentic and belongs to the user. Fraud detection specifically identifies manipulation: altered text, printed overlays, injected images, replayed holograms. Incode does both simultaneously.
How does Incode stop synthetic identity fraud?
Synthetic fraud mixes real and fabricated data with altered or manufactured documents. Incode detects micro-level forgery signals invisible to the human eye, blocking synthetic IDs at the point of onboarding.
