# Overview

> Understanding and implementing Verisoul ID Check

## What is ID Check?

ID Check is a biometric verification method that uses facial recognition and document verification technology to verify user identities. The workflow is used to match and deduplicate users, while ensuring that they're humans through advanced liveness detection.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="User and Document Capture">
    The user takes a selfie or short video using their device camera and uploads their ID document
  </Step>

  <Step title="Liveness Detection and Document Extraction">
    Our system verifies that it's a real person, not a photo or deepfake and extracts the user's ID document details
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verification">
    Get the results from the user's ID Check session:

    <div className="mt-2">
      <ul>
        <li><strong>Document Verification</strong>: Verify the user has a real ID document</li>
        <li><strong>Liveness Detection</strong>: Verify that the user is a real person</li>
        <li><strong>Face-to-ID Matching</strong>: Verify that the user's face matches the photo on their ID</li>
        <li><strong>Device and Network Validation</strong>: Validate the device and network are non risky to prevent ID selling and fraud farms </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </Step>
</Steps>
