What we analyze
How we validate the integrity, validity, and rightful ownership of driving licenses:
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A user submits a licence claiming to be from Spain. While the layout is correct, the expiry date doesn’t match the issuing region’s standard. The system flags the mismatch, stopping the fraud before onboarding.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A license has all the right details, but our system spots that the photo frame is 5% off from the expected layout — a telltale sign of a manipulated template. It’s blocked before the flow continues.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
An applicant submits a high-quality license. But behind the scenes, we’ve seen the same license number used in multiple fraud attempts under different names. Our 360 Signals solution blocks the application instantly.
