Introduction

In today's digital age, remote video identification has emerged as a powerful solution for verifying the identity of individuals without requiring their physical presence. 

This technology has applications in various industries, such as government, finance, healthcare, telecom, and intelligence services, just to name a few, revolutionizing processes, such as account onboarding, passport identification, remote transactions, and customer support. The technology combines document verification, face recognition, and liveness detection techniques. Remote video identification offers enhanced security and efficiency, especially in the aspect of remote or security work activities. 

In this article, we will explore the technologies and methods used in remote video identification and examine their impact on different sectors.

Document Verification and Analysis (Scenario)

Remote video identification typically begins with document verification. Users are required to present official identification documents, such as passports, driver's licenses, or ID cards. Advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is employed to extract information from these documents. 

OCR algorithms analyze document images, extract data from specific fields, and verify its authenticity by comparing it against known templates or databases of accepted documents. 

Furthermore, machine learning algorithms are used to detect any signs of tampering or forgery (sciencedirect.com, n.d.), such as a missing watermark, ensuring the integrity of the identification process. 

There are numerous organizations offering remote video verification services, some with apps and some without them. In this article, we will be looking at a few of the companies that offer this service. We will start with Jumio.
