Verification steps

This article describes the verification steps available in AdvanGuard. Combine steps to build verification Levels that match your specific compliance scenario.

Available Steps

Document Verification
The Document Verification step allows you to collect and verify identity documents from users.

Supported document types:

Verification includes:

• Authenticity verification (forgery detection, tampering analysis)
• OCR data extraction (name, date of birth, document number, nationality, etc.)
• Document format and security feature validation

Output: Extracted identity information, document images, verification status (GREEN or RED)

Face Liveness
The Face Liveness step requires users to prove they are a real person by capturing a facial image or video.

Verification includes:

• Liveness detection (proves real person, not a photo or deepfake)
• Face comparison against identity document photo
• Facial feature analysis

Output: Selfie/video capture, liveness verification status (GREEN or RED)

AML Screening
The AML Screening step verifies users against international sanctions lists, PEP (Politically Exposed Person) databases, and watchlists.

Screening includes:

• Sanctions list screening
• PEP database matching
• Watchlist checking
• Risk assessment

Output: Screening results, risk flags, match status (GREEN or RED)

Building a Level

Combine the available steps to create verification Levels suited to your compliance requirements.

Verification Outcome

After a user completes all configured steps in a Level, the Application reaches a terminal state with a result of:

• GREEN — All steps passed verification checks
• RED — One or more steps failed verification checks

The user's Profile is updated with verified information from the completed steps, and you can access results via Dashboard or API.
