Detect a paper copy or a screen re-capture, not just a forged document.
Document liveness checks the presentation itself: a paper printout, a photo of a screen, or another non-original way of presenting a document, distinct from forensic authentication of the document's own security features.

Document forensic authentication
Evaluate whether a presented identity document appears genuine, altered, copied, recaptured, inconsistent or otherwise suspicious. APX-DFA combines document-template analysis, OCR, barcode and MRZ cross-validation, and supported forensic imaging to return clear authentication findings.
Input Images of supported driver licences, ID cards, passports and other supported identity documents.
Output OCR and machine-readable data plus authentication findings, supporting checks and a Pass, Warning or Fail-style result.AcuFace biometric facial matching
AcuFace compares a live capture with a reference portrait, returns a 1:1 match and liveness determination, and retains no biometric data—no templates, images or embeddings. Deploy it in the cloud or on-premise.
Input A live capture and the document portrait.
Output A 1:1 match score and a liveness determination.
