The AI document fraud detection API for agents and developers. Catch forged documents, fake receipts, and manipulated IDs instantly.
Legacy KYC tools rely on basic OCR and template matching. DocVerify uses advanced AI document verification to analyze compression artifacts, metadata anomalies, and font rendering inconsistencies to catch sophisticated fraud that humans and standard OCR miss.
For a full walkthrough of the KYC verification process and how document checks fit in, see our guide to KYC verification.

Our homepage features the live forensic scanner, scroll-driven explainer, and hero animation—so you can experience how DocVerify surfaces tampering before you integrate the API.
See the live scanner on the homepageDocument fraud detection is not OCR. It is pixel-level and metadata-level analysis to catch edits, synthetic regions, and recompression—before your workflow trusts the text.
DocVerify focuses primarily on image-based compression artifact analysis. Edited, patched, regenerated, or recompressed files often leave subtle traces in the image itself. DocVerify analyzes those patterns to identify hidden manipulation that may not be visible at normal zoom.
Inserted text, regenerated content, or altered regions can behave differently from native content in the way characters render, align, and blend into surrounding document structure. DocVerify checks these consistency signals to identify suspicious regions.
In parallel, DocVerify inspects metadata and editing traces to determine whether a file appears to have been modified by an editor, passed through a synthetic pipeline, or altered after original creation.
On top of forensic signals, DocVerify uses transformer-based vision models to detect image manipulation, document forgery, GenAI document detection signals, and suspicious edits in scans, screenshots, images, and rendered PDFs.
KYC verification software buyers, platform engineers, and AI agent builders all plug the same forensic engine into different workflows.
Digital KYC verification, onboarding, and AML-adjacent checks need more than template OCR. Screen uploads for forgery before decisions.

See agent UX on the homepageEvery stage of the KYC verification process relies on uploads—IDs, proof of address, bank statement verification, and proof of income. Digital KYC verification only works if those files are genuine. DocVerify checks the image, not just the extracted text.
Supported inputs are image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, GIF). Export PDF pages as images for analysis—same pipeline whether the file came from a scanner, a phone photo, or a screenshot.

AI document verification is the process of using machine learning and computer vision to determine whether an uploaded file is authentic or has been tampered with. Unlike OCR alone, it analyzes compression artifacts, metadata, font rendering, and pixel-level anomalies for document fraud detection before automated systems act on the content.
You send a document image to DocVerify via HTTPS (multipart upload or JSON with base64). The document verification API returns a forensic authenticity assessment, optional heatmaps of suspicious regions, and metadata signals. Integrate it into onboarding, expense review, or agent pipelines in minutes.
Digital KYC verification is identity and document checks performed online—customers upload IDs, proof of address, or bank statements instead of visiting a branch. DocVerify adds a forgery-detection layer on top of those uploads so digital KYC verification is not fooled by edited or AI-generated documents.
Yes. DocVerify combines traditional forensic signals with vision models trained to spot synthetic generation patterns and GenAI-modified regions, alongside metadata and compression analysis.
DocVerify accepts common image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, GIF). For PDFs, export pages as images first. Typical use cases include receipts, bank statements, payslips, IDs, invoices, and onboarding uploads.
