What does ID DocumentScan do?

Complete and fast ID verification
Any organisation can use Keesing ID DocumentScan to check a person’s identity and verify the authenticity of an identity document quickly and easily. ID DocumentScan involves a simple process that takes less than one minute to properly verify an ID document. Moreover, your organisation is protected against illegal labour and fraudulent clients and you automatically comply with the Law for Employers on Preventing Illegal Working.

Comparison of ID documents with images from the unique Keesing ID database
You compare the ID document with images from the unique, worldwide Keesing ID database, which contains clear descriptions and sharp images of more than 1,700 ID documents and their security features. The database provides you with the online information that you need for fast, thorough verification of ID documents from more than 180 countries, thus ensuring that you always have reliable reference material at your fingertips.

Verification of the machine-readable zone (MRZ code)
In just a few seconds, ID DocumentScan verifies the authenticity of the ID document by checking the machine-readable zone (MRZ). The verification of the MRZ is an important aspect of the inspection process, not least because this check identifies more than 80 percent of all forgeries.

Report
Upon completion of the verification process, ID DocumentScan always provides you with a clearly set out report on the security features that have been checked and the authenticity of the proof of identification. At a glance, you can see, for example, who carried out the ID check and when the check took place.

Hardware requirements
ID DocumentScan is web-based: you only need a scanner (any common scanner bought from 2003 onwards), an Internet connection and a web browser.

Multi-platform
Keesing ID DocumentScan works with Internet Explorer 6, Firefox, Opera and Safari, on Windows, MacOSX, and on certain Linux systems.

Integration with other back-office applications
ID DocumentScan’s unique system architecture allows easy integration into your existing IT environment. It can automatically accept scans from multi functional printers/copiers, and CRM, payroll or other back-office applications can access data and reports from ID DocumentScan using web services (XML SOAP/RPC).
