How Presence Verification works
Add Presence Verification as a light-touch step at account sign-up or during high-stakes moments, such as authorizing payments, changing payment details, or recovering an account.
-
At session start, Veriff runs checks across device, SDK, and network layers to detect emulators, rooted devices, velocity anomalies, and VPNs or proxies.
-
Just a quick selfie is all it takes. Veriff’s real-time feedback provides instant guidance if needed, and with passive liveness, users do not need to perform unnecessary actions.

-
Conducts real-time liveness detection of the user’s selfie, including image quality, behavioral, device, and network risk signals to detect fraudulent activity.

-
The full session video and audio are analyzed for signs of third-party coaching, off-camera influence, or coercion to provide more context for what happened during the session.

-
Provides an actionable decision in seconds backed by detailed session events to confidently allow, deny, or request additional verification.

One solution, multiple use cases
Financial Services
High-risk transactions face closer regulatory scrutiny. Confirm the account holder is present and acting freely before money moves, and help spot mule accounts.
Marketplaces
Verify sellers during onboarding, then step up before payout changes or high-value listings, so buyers and sellers can trust every transaction.
Dating platforms
A verified badge only builds trust if the person behind it is real. Check for coached selfies and synthetic faces, so matches are who they appear to be.
Comprehensive human presence and coercion detection capabilities
Veriff’s Presence Verification solution underpins crucial risk-based procedures for organizations when verifying remote users online.

Frequently asked questions
The Presence Verification solution includes coercion detection as an optional feature, enabling companies with strict privacy requirements to adhere to their compliance or internal processes.
The Presence Verification solution analyzes the session’s audio and contextual signals to distinguish legitimate accessibility assistance from potentially coercive instructions.
Liveness detection answers one question: is the person real? While important, this check is no longer enough. Businesses need to know: is the camera stream genuine, or digitally injected? Is the user engaging independently, or being coached off-camera? Moreover, active liveness checks that require users to perform actions introduce friction and drive abandonment. Presence Verification delivers holistic threat mitigation by evaluating over 1,000 data points, coupled with Veriff Network insights, all from a single passive selfie.
Presence Verification is Veriff’s solution that helps verify that a real, physically present person is behind a session and engaging freely. It combines passive liveness detection with device, network, injection, deepfake checks, and coercion detection.
