Passport Check
Our Passport Check enables employers to verify the authenticity of passports, ID cards, visas and residence permits provided by candidates as proof of identity.
The check uses a state of the art system which performs automated checks on the machine readable zone (MRZ) and compares the features of your candidate’s document to a database of identity documents issued by over 200 countries to determine whether the document provided is genuine or a forgery.
