The fraud risks no enrollment form can catch
-
Fraudulent student applications
Open online applications make it easier for fraudsters to use stolen, synthetic, or duplicate identities before a student record is created.
Shufti solution
Document Verification checks ID authenticity. Face Verification confirms the applicant is present. Device Fingerprinting identifies repeat devices, emulators, VPNs, and suspicious sessions.
-
High-risk international documents
Admissions teams review passports, IDs, residence permits, visas, and supporting records across regions, scripts, and document formats.
Shufti solution
Document Verification, OCR, and NFC Verification validate identity documents and compare chip, OCR, and document data where supported. Face Verification links the student to the document.
-
Ghost students draining financial aid
AP reported 1.2M fraudulent applications and 223K suspected fake enrollments in California community colleges in 2024.
Shufti solution
Face Verification, Device Fingerprinting, Behavioural Biometrics, and Address Verification help verify the real person and flag repeated or automated submissions before aid or benefits move.
Identity verification at every stage of the student lifecycle
Application
Fake or synthetic identity
A fraudster submits stolen or synthetic identity details to open an application.
How Shufti solves it
Document Verification checks ID authenticity. Face Verification confirms the applicant is present.
Stolen identity used in applications
A stolen PII pack can look valid in a form but does not prove the applicant is the identity owner.
How Shufti solves it
Face Verification and eIDV add independent checks before the application moves forward.
Duplicate and repeat applications
The same person may apply multiple times with altered details or new email addresses.
How Shufti solves it
Device Fingerprinting and 1:N face checks can flag repeated signals across applications.
Automated bot submissions
Automated scripts can submit applications at volume during open online enrollment.
How Shufti solves it
Device and behavioural signals help detect emulator, proxy, and scripted activity.
International Admissions
Unverifiable foreign documents
Admissions teams need to validate documents issued outside their home market.
How Shufti solves it
Document Verification supports government-issued documents across 240+ actively processed regions.
Tampered or altered documents
A student may upload a manipulated passport, ID, residence permit, or visa-supporting document.
How Shufti solves it
Document forensics check integrity, image properties, templates, similarity, AI artefacts, and validity.
Name and script inconsistencies
International names may vary by script, transliteration, spacing, or order.
How Shufti solves it
OCR extracts document fields and helps compare identity data across the verification flow.
High-assurance chip verification needed
Some high-assurance journeys need stronger proof than a document photo.
How Shufti solves it
NFC Verification reads issuer-signed chip data from supported passports and national IDs.
Enrollment
Someone else completing enrollment
Someone other than the admitted applicant attempts to complete enrollment.
How Shufti solves it
Face Verification links the enrolling student to the verified identity.
Student record opened before verification
A student record is created before identity evidence is complete.
How Shufti solves it
Identity Verification combines document and biometric checks before downstream access opens.
Every file reviewed manually
Admissions teams spend time reviewing low-risk and high-risk files the same way.
How Shufti solves it
Configurable checks route only exceptions or riskier cases for manual review.
No verification for online-only students
Online students may never visit campus before access is granted.
How Shufti solves it
Fast ID and Face Verification support repeat checks without restarting the full flow.
LMS and Account Access
Verified student sharing credentials
A verified student shares credentials with another person.
How Shufti solves it
Biometric Face Authentication can confirm the same student before sensitive access.
Compromised learning account
A compromised account is accessed from a new device or suspicious location.
How Shufti solves it
Device Fingerprinting flags new hardware, proxies, VPNs, and emulator signals.
High-risk account recovery request
Support teams receive a password reset or profile-change request from an unknown session.
How Shufti solves it
Fast ID adds quick re-verification before account recovery moves forward.
Automated or coached session activity
Automated or coached interactions can look different from normal student behaviour.
How Shufti solves it
Behavioural Biometrics helps identify unnatural form and session patterns.
Online Exams
Someone else sitting the exam
Another person attempts to sit the exam for the enrolled student.
How Shufti solves it
Face Verification matches the test-taker to the verified student identity.
Deepfake and replay fraud
A fraudster presents a synthetic face, video replay, or printed photo.
How Shufti solves it
iBeta-certified liveness checks help detect presentation and injection attacks.
Virtual camera and emulator tools
The session uses tools that replace the live camera or mask the device.
How Shufti solves it
Device Fingerprinting flags emulator, hardware, and session anomalies.
Exam not linked to original student record
The identity check is not connected to the original student onboarding record.
How Shufti solves it
Biometric authentication can re-check the student against the verified identity.
Aid & Scholarships
Ghost student claiming financial aid
A fake or stolen identity is used to enroll only long enough to access aid.
How Shufti solves it
Face Verification and Document Verification confirm the person behind the request.
Linked devices across fraud applications
A fraud ring submits many aid applications from linked devices or proxy infrastructure.
How Shufti solves it
Device Fingerprinting links repeat hardware, networks, and evasion signals.
Payment details changed before funds move
A student changes contact or payment details before funds move.
How Shufti solves it
Address Verification and step-up checks add proof before the change is accepted.
Bot-driven aid applications
Fraudulent aid applications may be completed by bots or coached users.
How Shufti solves it
Behavioural Biometrics can flag unnatural interaction patterns during sensitive forms.
Account Recovery
Social engineering of support teams
A fraudster contacts support and tries to pass weak recovery questions.
How Shufti solves it
Fast ID adds a live identity check before access is restored.
Recovery from an unknown device
An account recovery request comes from hardware that does not match the known student profile.
How Shufti solves it
Device Fingerprinting gives the support team risk context before approval.
Stolen credentials used for access
Passwords or email accounts are stolen and used to access student systems.
How Shufti solves it
Biometric authentication and MFA add proof beyond credentials.
Fraudulent profile changes
A fraudster attempts to change address, phone, or recovery details.
How Shufti solves it
Step-up verification confirms the account holder before high-risk changes are saved.
Risk-Based Screening
Sanctioned or restricted party in the workflow
An international scholarship, payment, donation, or research-related workflow may require screening.
How Shufti solves it
Sanctions and Watchlist Screening check verified identities against relevant lists.
High-risk country or funding source
Some applications or funding flows require stronger review based on institutional policy.
How Shufti solves it
AML Screening can add sanctions, PEP, RCA, and adverse media checks where relevant.
Name matching across scripts and spellings
Names can vary across scripts, spelling, order, or transliteration.
How Shufti solves it
Identity-aware name matching uses document and identity data to reduce weak exact-match decisions.
Risk status changes after onboarding
A student or connected party may appear on a list after onboarding.
How Shufti solves it
Ongoing Monitoring can flag relevant changes after the first check.
