Seamless ID Verification:
Your Identities, Our Assurance
Identity Verification
as a Service
Identity proofing is the process of collecting and verifying information about a person to establish their identity before granting them access to a system, application, or resource. It’s the initial step in the identity lifecycle management, ensuring a secure foundation for all subsequent processes.
Comitex Ltd. offers IDV (Identification Verification) as a Service based on the Regula Software Solutions where the customers can benefit of all features and most current technologies out of a Cloud solution or on-premises.
The unique Pay-As-You-Go model that we offer allows the use of the software components for a relatively small number of yearly transactions without the need to buy bundled transaction packages or without knowing upfront the needed transaction count in order to invest in a specific license tier.
In this way the Customer can start an IDV service on a website or mobile application and pay only for the consumed transactions on a monthly or a 3-month basis billing.
For the purposes of the billing service – a unique Tag is implemented into the payload of each transaction to identify the source and assign it to the Customer records.
The Service includes both Identity Document Verification with Regula Document Reader SDK and Biometric Verification with Regula Face SDK.
All steps of the processes are covered by the proposed service as shown on the diagram below:
In order to use the service on premises the Customer should integrate the needed software components and transaction payload tag information into their website or mobile application, implement the production license from Comitex and start doing transactions. The data processing is done in-house on a Customer server and no data leaves the Customer premises.
For on-cloud use of all the services a front-end application or web site covering the customer requirements should be implemented. Then the Comitex Cloud Service can be used for processing of all the data.
Both options can be implemented using Web API SDK or Mobile SDK for Document Reader and Face biometrics.
For the implementation the Customer can use extensive library of technical documentation, Docker images and ready examples. Demo Clients are also available.
The documentation includes examples of different programming languages, Web Service and Mobile component Installation Guides, GitHub resources.
Both iOS and Android are supported with the Mobile SDK.
All the useful links regarding demo applications, demo web sites and developers’ documentation are published in the Downloads section.
To support the process of deployment, integration and testing, Comitex can provide a trial license for a limited period and number of transactions.
Along with the process of implementing the solutions the Customer can benefit of the Consulting services provided by the Comitex Team. The services can help the Dev team with all the steps of the implementation, deployment and testing.
Support services are also available and included into the service price. These services can be used during deployment and testing phases and also into the production phase.

Identity Verification
OCR is part of the automated process of verification of ID documents. It recognizes, reads, extracts and structures information from all the fields in the IDs in a secure way, speeding up the process and eliminating human error. Regula OCR technology analyzes document layouts using the largest document template database. Due to the advanced forensic equipment used and the high industry expertise, it offers different data checks which detect inconsistencies and fraud. It is possible to perform multiple validations, such as the correctness of document fields, the spelling of names, document number templates, and much more.

MRZ Reading
Advanced Data Reading and Verification
Detect ID Forgery by Decoding Personal Data
Regula technology automatically divides MRZ lines into separate fields, where each field is validated, including the data it contains in accordance with ICAO 9303 and ISO 18013 standards. Moreover, to prove the authenticity of a document and to detect fake IDs, it verifies MRZ checksums. The document analysis is backed up by advanced in-house forensic equipment and rare industry expertise.
Widely Used and Useful
MRZ formats vary a lot depending on the document type and issuing country, but Regula technology successfully reads them all. The most common are:
- Passports: TD3 size (2 lines, 44 characters)
- ID cards: TD1 (3 lines, 30 characters) and TD2 size (2 lines, 36 characters)
- Visas: MRVA (2 lines, 44 characters) and MRVB (2 lines, 36 characters)
- Driver’s licenses: 1-line MRZ, 30 characters

Face Matching
Identity verification with biometric data
Face matching plays a crucial role in identity verification by confirming that the individual asserting a specific identity is indeed that person. It examines and identifies individuals by analyzing their facial features and extracting unique characteristics from facial images. This is particularly important in situations where personal data like name, address, or social security number could be easily obtained by unauthorized individuals. Regula’s Face Matching technology helps to prevent biometric fraud in a secure and reliable way.
Face Matching for Identity Verification
Regula Face SDK provides an efficient and powerful way to compare two or more images and to determine the similarity between faces. Its face matching technology instantly identifies potential matches by comparing a portrait with another reference photo.
When combined with the Document Reader SDK, the Regula Face SDK can match the portrait with all potential photos in the document in a single request.
It instantly compares a photo/selfie from web or mobile device against a photo from an ID document printed portrait, RFID chip, ghost or any secondary photo, visible under different lights or an external portrait from your database. Moreover, if both a selfie and a document are present in a single image, the technology instantly compares them using the one-shot identification functionality.
How Face Matching Works
- User takes a selfie
- Facial detection technology identifies the face in an image
- Within one session Regula algorithms determine whether the image in ID and the selfie of individual are a match and defines similarity rate percentage
- Processing results are reflected in one response
Regula’s face matching technology enables the comparison of an original portrait with a secondary / ‘ghost’ portrait on the document to identify any inconsistencies or manipulations. It supports four distinct scenarios where both primary and secondary portraits are involved:
Visible on the same page
On different pages
Photo as a kinegram
On the same page but visible in
different light sources
Regula Face Matching Technology Features
- 100% automated
- 99.7% accuracy rate
- Match results are under few seconds
- Cross-comparison of portraits from various sources
- 100% on-premise
- Spoof attacks detection
