FaceCheck.ID is a facial recognition platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to identify individuals based on their facial features. The technology works by comparing a person's face to a database of existing images, allowing for quick and accurate identification. FaceCheck.ID claims to have a high degree of accuracy, with the ability to match faces even if they are partially occluded or captured at different angles.
This is the core engine. Facechek.id creates a mathematical facial map from the user’s selfie and compares it to the face on the ID. It returns a similarity score (e.g., 92.5%). Businesses can set their own threshold (usually >85% for standard KYC, >95% for high-risk transactions). facechek.id
In 2024, a class-action lawsuit was filed in California alleging that FaceCheck.ID violated state privacy laws by scraping profiles from dating apps without user consent. The case is ongoing. FaceCheck
