ID + Face Match

Match an identity document to the person presenting it

Ask your customer to photograph their document and complete a live face check. MasterID reads the document, checks the capture and compares the document portrait with the person in front of the camera.

How it works

One link for the document and face check

ID + Face Match is available through MasterID Verification Link. It is created as a single-purpose link and cannot be combined with another verification type.

  1. 01

    Choose the document

    Create an ID + Face Match link and select National ID, passport or driving licence.

  2. 02

    Send the link and token

    Share the link with your customer together with its 9-digit authorisation token.

  3. 03

    The customer completes the check

    After entering their details and token, they photograph the selected document and complete the live face capture.

  4. 04

    Review the result

    The completed session and downloadable report appear in your MasterID account. The customer does not see the result.

Customer experience

Clear steps on a phone

The customer opens the link on their phone, confirms the invitation and follows the guided document and face checks. If they leave before finishing, they can return to the same link and continue an incomplete submission.

Supported documents

Choose the document required for each link

The document choice is fixed when the link is created, so every invited customer is asked for the same type of identification.
