Document Fraud Detection
Forged, Tampered, Replayed All caught
A 9-layer forensic pipeline runs on every document, in real time, at every touchpoint. It tells you what was tampered with, which layer caught it, and where on the document the manipulation occurred. Government-validated. Live in days.

Built on every forgery we’ve ever seen
Four Touchpoints. Each One a Blind Spot
Onboarding
Fabricated IDs submitted at account creation. One pass. OCR-only validators give it to them.
EDD & Re-KYC
AI-fabricated bank statements and salary slips. Visually genuine. Only forensic analysis catches them.
Claim
Forged identity documents through help-desk flows. Pixel-perfect forgeries defeat standard controls.
Recovery
Forged incorporation documents and synthetic shareholder registers. High-value fraud, low detection rate.
THE 9-LAYER FORENSIC PIPELINE
Nine layers. Every document. No exceptions
Shufti uses nine forensic layers and 500+ ML detectors to generate a unified Document Integrity Score.
Integrity Score
AutoML aggregates all detector signals. Unified confidence score. Every layer feeds into it.
Liveness Check
Moiré pattern (screen replay), printed copy (colour + B&W), screenshot, scan. Four named attack classes.
Image Properties
Compression QTable anomalies, EXIF metadata (existence, timestamp, modification tool), resolution, and mirror-image detection.
Security Checks
MRZ ICAO-standard checksum validation, document number logic, country-specific date formatting, and hologram detection.
Template & Layout
Synthetic / PVC card imitation, template matching (250+ countries), and generator tool signature detection.
Similarity Search
Web detection (online repository sources), face reusability checks, text edit detection, and background template similarity.
Copy-Move & Slicing
Compression artefact analysis (low/medium/high risk), region-level manipulations, copy-move of background texture, and field replacement. Forensic heatmap shows the exact manipulation zone.
GenAI Detection
AI image pattern identification, GenAI tool fingerprinting (known synthetic document databases), Face Swap Detection (Roop-class and GAN-based). Heatmap localises AI-generated facial insertion.
Document Support
Every government document from 250+ countries is supported. Flags non-document submissions (garbage image detection) and digital soft-copies lacking physical traits.
FORENSIC HEATMAP OUTPUT
When a document fails, Shufti returns a forensic heatmap highlighting manipulated areas, AI-generated faces, and other tampering — with audit-ready visual evidence.
FIVE ATTACKS. FIVE PLAYS
How Shufti Stops It
Template Injection
Fraudsters edit government ID templates with false data. L5 Template & Layout validates layouts, fonts, and security markers against global templates, while Generator Tool Detection flags synthetic templates from common forgery tools.
AI-Generated Document Fabrication
AI-generated bank statements and utility bills trigger L8 GenAI Detection and L3 Image Properties, which catch synthetic patterns, metadata gaps, and compression anomalies. Document Intelligence extracts structured data, validating its integrity against authoritative sources.
Document Replay and Screen Submission
Screenshots, scans, and re-photographed documents trigger L2 Liveness Check and L3 Image Properties, detecting replay attacks through screen, print, and encoding artefacts.
Field-Level Tampering
Edited names, DOBs, or document numbers break MRZ checksums and trigger artefact analysis. L7 Copy-Move Detection identifies pasted fields and manipulated regions, mapped on the heatmap.
Deepfake and Face Swap
L8 detects AI-generated faces and face swaps, while L6 Similarity Search surfaces reused facial data. The forensic heatmap highlights the manipulated facial region.

-
Workforce IAM
Verified identity at every access control point, onboarding, account recovery, privileged access, and MFA re-enrolment, without replacing your existing IAM stack.
-
Candidate Verification
Document forensics, biometric matching, and enhanced due diligence inside your hiring pipeline. Catch fraudulent applicants and AI-generated candidates at application stage, not after offer.

Product Brief
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between document tampering and document forgery?
Tampering involves altering a legitimate, government-issued document, changing a name, date of birth, or document number on an otherwise genuine ID. Forgery involves creating an entirely fabricated document, either by populating an editable template or using generative AI. Tampering is caught primarily by L4 Security Checks (MRZ checksums), L3 Image Properties (compression artefacts), and L7 Copy-Move Detection. Forgery is caught by L5 Template & Layout Integrity and L8 GenAI Detection. Both produce a forensic heatmap showing where the manipulation occurred.
How does Shufti detect AI-generated documents?
L8, the AI-Generated Content Detection layer, identifies AI-generation signatures in image patterns and matches submissions against a database of known synthetic document generator tool fingerprints. It also includes Face Swap Detection, catching Roop-class and GAN-based facial overlays on document photographs. When an AI-generated element is detected, the forensic heatmap pinpoints exactly where on the document the synthetic content appears, giving fraud teams a spatial evidence artefact, not just a flag.
How quickly does the verification decision return?
Automated flows return a decision within 15 seconds end-to-end. The response includes the accept/decline outcome, the reason, a full forensic evidence record with layer-by-layer signal breakdown, and, where tampering or manipulation is detected, a forensic heatmap image showing the exact manipulation zone. For flows requiring human assurance, Shufti Smart Hybrid resolves borderline cases within 60 seconds.
Which government documents does Shufti support?
Every government-issued document across 250+ countries. Shufti’s template library covers passports, national identity cards, driving licences, residence permits, and all major government-issued identification documents globally. New document templates entering circulation are continuously added. L9 Document Support Validation filters non-document submissions and digital soft-copies lacking physical traits, ensuring every decision is made on a processable, legitimate input.
Does Shufti integrate with our existing stack?
Yes. Shufti integrates via REST API and mobile/web SDK. It can run as a standalone document check, as a layer within an existing orchestration flow, or as the primary IDV engine. Document Verification, Face Verification, AML Screening, and Document Intelligence sit on a single Shufti contract with one integration and one dashboard. Most clients are live within days for standard flows.
