What is Faceplugin?
FacePlugin offers a complete end-to-end technical stack for electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) solutions: it supports automatic scanning and extraction of key fields (OCR and MRZ parsing) from government-issued documents such as passports, ID cards, and driver’s licenses, combines this with face matching to verify applicant identity, and employs multimodal liveness detection to confirm the real-time presence of a live person. The entire process runs offline entirely within the customer’s own infrastructure, ensuring zero leakage of biometric data, no usage-based charges, and full autonomy over access permissions.
Key features
Face Liveness Detection SDK: Provides both passive and active liveness detection capabilities, effectively identifying presentation attacks such as printed photos, video replays, and masks.
ID Document Liveness Detection SDK: Verifies the authenticity of physical documents, preventing forgery attempts like screen captures or paper prints, ensuring that the presented document is a genuine original.
Use cases and audience
Developers and IT decision-makers who require highly secure identity verification within their own infrastructure—typical industries include financial services, digital government, enterprise internal controls, and privacy-sensitive SaaS platforms.
- Enables citizen identity verification in government digital services, supporting electronic eKYC for documents such as passports, national ID cards, and driver’s licenses.
- Conduct remote account opening and KYC processes in the financial industry, completing end-to-end eKYC through facial comparison, liveness detection, and document authenticity verification.
- Deploy an offline identity verification system within the corporate intranet or air-gapped environment, ensuring that biometric data remains confined to on-premises infrastructure.
Face images or video streams, images of identification documents (such as passports, driver’s licenses, national ID cards), and OCR-readable text regions within documents.
Structured verification results, including face-matching confidence scores, liveness detection status (passive/active), document data fields (MRZ, name, date of birth, etc.), deepfake probability values, and indications of forgery characteristics (such as facial artifacts or inconsistent lighting).
