KYC Workflows - OCR Is Not Identity Verification

by DocsRouter Team

KYC Passport Scan

Not an identity-verification product

DocsRouter does not currently claim ISO 27001 certification, sub-200 ms processing, zero-retention mode, sensitive-field redaction, face cropping, liveness checks, or identity verification.

OCR can extract text that may help populate a KYC review, but it cannot establish that a document is authentic or belongs to the person presenting it.

If you evaluate DocsRouter for identity documents:

  1. Confirm that your legal, security, retention, and provider requirements permit the processing.
  2. Test supported models against appropriately handled sample documents.
  3. Validate formats, checksums, expiration dates, and field consistency in your application.
  4. Use separate specialist services for authenticity, face match, and liveness.
  5. Keep a human-review path for exceptions and consequential decisions.

The current API extracts document content only. It does not make KYC or AML decisions.
