Frequently Asked Questions
How does Shufti detect deepfake and AI-generated documents?
The forensic pipeline applies DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) frequency analysis to identify artefacts specific to generative AI. AI-synthesised images leave statistical signatures in the frequency domain that are invisible to the human eye and undetectable by template-matching systems. This analysis runs as one of nine independent forensic layers; it does not replace the other eight. A document must clear all nine layers to pass.
What precision metrics has Shufti published for document verification?
DHS RIVR 2025 tested Shufti's document verification pipeline against the most challenging fraud scenarios the U.S. government could assemble. Results: True Accept Rate of 98.49% and zero False Template Creation events. Shufti earned Top Performer status. These metrics are independently validated, not self-reported.
How accurate is Shufti's OCR on non-Latin scripts?
Shufti's in-house OCR engine achieves 99.7% aggregate accuracy across 150+ languages. On non-Latin scripts, it outperforms Google Vision on Arabic (92.17% vs 90.24%), Vietnamese (96.79% vs 82.36%), CJK (86.87% vs 82.89%), and Burmese. These are internal benchmarks conducted under standardised test conditions against the same document sets.
Can Shufti be deployed on-premises or in a private cloud?
Yes. Document verification is a first-party Shufti product with no external data-source dependency. The full forensic pipeline can be deployed on-premises, in a private cloud, or in an air-gapped environment. Hybrid deployment is also supported: cloud processing for standard volumes, on-premises for sensitive document categories or jurisdictions with data sovereignty requirements.
Which regulations require document verification?
The document verification pipeline maps to FATF Recommendation 10 (Customer Due Diligence), 5AMLD and 6AMLD identity verification obligations, eIDAS 2.0 document authentication standards, and UK FCA identity verification requirements. Each verification produces a structured evidence package (original image, extracted fields, per-layer forensic results, confidence scores, tamper-evident audit trail) designed to survive regulatory examination.
What is the difference between document verification and identity verification?
Document verification confirms that a physical or digital identity document is authentic, unaltered, and valid. Identity verification is the broader process of confirming that a person is who they claim to be, which may include document verification, biometric matching, database checks, and liveness detection. Document verification is one component of a complete identity verification programme, and typically the first step.
What is document verification?
Document verification is the process of confirming that an identity or supporting document is genuine, unaltered, and valid before it is accepted as proof. Automated systems check security features, fonts, layout templates, and machine-readable zones against known specimens, test the image for tampering, and then extract and cross-check the data fields. In customer onboarding, it is used to satisfy KYC and AML obligations. It is a separate process from I-9 employment eligibility verification.
What are the types of document verification?
There are three broad types. Identity document verification covers passports, driving licences, national ID cards and residence permits, and establishes who the customer is. Proof of address verification covers utility bills, bank statements and government correspondence, and establishes where they live. Source of funds verification covers payslips, tax records and financial statements, and establishes where their money comes from. Most regulated onboarding uses the first, adds the second for higher-risk customers, and the third for enhanced due diligence.
Can document verification software detect AI-generated or deepfake documents?
Yes, but only if the system tests for it directly. Template matching alone will not catch a well-made synthetic document, because the layout may be entirely correct. Detection depends on frequency-domain analysis, which identifies statistical artefacts that generative models leave in an image and that are invisible to the eye. Shufti applies Discrete Cosine Transform frequency analysis as one of nine independent forensic checks, alongside tests for digital manipulation, print pattern anomalies, and specimen mismatch.
Is document validation software the same as document checking software?
Yes. Document validation software, document checking software, document authentication software, and document verification software all describe the same category: tools that confirm a document is genuine, unaltered, and correctly matched to its holder. The terms are used interchangeably across the market. Where a real distinction exists, it is usually between fully automated verification, which runs checks without human involvement, and hybrid verification, which routes uncertain cases to a trained reviewer.
How long does document verification take?
Verification of documents usually returns a decision within seconds. Cases escalated to human review take longer, generally minutes rather than hours, depending on queue depth and document complexity. The main variables are image quality, how well the document type is represented in the specimen library, and whether biometric matching or address verification runs alongside. Because slow verification costs conversions as well as time, it is worth asking any provider for median rather than average decision times.
What documents are required for verification?
At minimum, most KYC programmes require a government-issued photo identity document confirming name and date of birth. A passport, driving licence, national ID card or residence permit will normally satisfy this. Higher-risk customers, or those in stricter jurisdictions, may also need proof of address such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. Some regulated sectors additionally require source of funds documentation. The exact list depends on the regulator, the sector, and the customer's risk rating.
How accurate is automated document verification?
Accuracy varies widely between providers, and self-reported figures deserve scepticism. Independent evaluation is the thing to look for. Shufti's document verification pipeline was tested in the US Department of Homeland Security RIVR 2025 evaluation, returning a True Accept Rate of 98.49% with zero False Template Creation events, and earning Top Performer status. Its in-house OCR engine achieves 99.7% aggregate accuracy across 150+ languages. When comparing providers, ask which figures are independently validated and which are internal benchmarks.
