Innovatrics Identity Verification Toolkit (formerly DOT)

Innovatrics is an EU-based biometrics company registered in Bratislava, Slovakia, founded in 2003 when Jan Lunter started work on a fingerprint algorithm with his former professor. It has 200+ employees and over 600 projects in 80+ countries, covering national ID, border control, law enforcement and enterprise identity verification.

The Identity Verification Toolkit, launched in 2018 as the Digital Onboarding Toolkit (DOT), is a set of components for building remote onboarding. It includes selfie-to-ID face matching, passive and multi-range liveness detection, document OCR for the visual zone, MRZ and barcodes in Latin, Arabic, Thai and Cyrillic scripts, NFC chip reading, document presentation attack detection, deepfake and video injection detection, and age estimation. Web and mobile capture components connect to the server-side Digital Identity Service through an API, and parts can be combined with other vendors' components.

• Face verification: matches a selfie to the portrait on the identity document.
• Liveness detection: passive single-frame and multi-range liveness, iBeta Level 2 accredited.
• Document verification: OCR of visual zone, MRZ and barcodes, with document presentation attack detection.
• NFC verification: reads and checks the RFID chip of e-passports and ID cards.
• Deepfake defense: video injection and deepfake detection during capture.
• Age estimation: estimates age from a face without a document, with trust factors.

Vietnamese banks, securities firms and e-wallets can read the chip on citizen ID cards via NFC and match it with a live selfie during account opening. Telecom operators can verify subscribers when activating SIM cards. Pension funds and public agencies can use face verification for remote proof-of-life checks, similar to Innovatrics' South-East Asian pension fund reference.

Innovatrics cites NIST rankings at the top of face, fingerprint, iris and age estimation benchmarks, including first place in NIST FATE age estimation in 2025. Passive liveness is iBeta Level 2 accredited and the company claims almost 100% completion on the first attempt, which reduces drop-off. Modular components let banks and platforms add only the checks they need or combine them with existing vendors.

Deepfakes and injection attacks are pushing banks and regulators to require certified liveness and NFC chip checks for remote onboarding. In Vietnam, chip-based citizen ID cards and biometric authentication requirements for online banking make NFC reading and face matching standard in e-KYC flows, and Southeast Asian governments are expanding biometric ID programs.

Founded in 2003; registered as Innovatrics, s.r.o. in Bratislava, Slovakia, with an office in São Paulo, Brazil since 2021. 200+ employees, 600+ projects in 80+ countries and over 1 billion people enrolled. Delivered a large ABIS in South-East Asia in 2016. iBeta Level 2 PAD (2021); first in NIST FATE age estimation (2025).
