Video Identification Flash Advanced – Worldwide

The IDV Flash Advanced Video Identification API service allows you to verify users' identities remotely in an easy, automated, and cost-effective way, including Liveness detection to ensure the user is actually present during the procedure.

The service is available 24/7 and supports over 3,000 documents from more than 190 countries. Identification is completed in just a few seconds thanks to artificial intelligence, ensuring precise and reliable data extraction. In cases where AI cannot complete the verification, a specialized operator intervenes to complete the procedure within just 2 minutes, combining speed and effectiveness.

The system uses advanced anti-fraud technologies, combining biometric verification with AI tools capable of detecting all types of counterfeiting, from photocopied documents to deepfake videos, with constantly updated algorithms to counter new threats.

Openapi offers 3 levels of global video identification:

Compared to traditional photo-based methods, video verification makes the service twice as fast and effective, providing a quick and secure identification experience.

The identification platform is available in 10 different languages and is completely "neutral" (no company logos will be visible).

With the Flash Advanced mode, users can carry out the entire video recognition procedure independently, at any time of the day and without time constraints.

The identification procedure is mainly based on three steps:

The Flash Advanced service, compared to Flash Start, also includes liveness detection.

The service is identified by the endpoint https://trust.openapi.com/idv-flash-advanced

The desktop link will lead to a QR code that must be scanned by the smartphone to start the identification procedure. The video recognition procedure is very flexible and can be structured according to the integrator's needs. During identification, remind the user not to refresh the page or close the browser window; otherwise, the procedure will restart from the beginning. The same applies if the internet connection is interrupted.
