LexisNexis Risk Solutions has released an enhanced version of its LexisNexis IDVerse platform, introducing upgraded document authentication and biometric verification features aimed at helping organisations detect deepfakes, synthetic identities and other emerging forms of fraud. The updates are designed to improve accuracy while reducing friction for legitimate users across sectors including financial services, gaming, retail and telecommunications.
IDVerse uses proprietary AI models to verify government-issued identity documents and conduct biometric checks, enabling organisations to identify forged or manipulated images and detect attempts to bypass onboarding systems. The latest version strengthens fraud detection capabilities while streamlining the verification process by reducing the number of steps required for users to complete identity checks.
The company said fraudsters are increasingly adopting generative AI to create realistic falsified identification or alter images as part of account-takeover attempts. Many organisations still rely on siloed tools for device analysis, behaviour monitoring and identity verification, creating gaps that increase complexity and cost. LexisNexis said the integration of IDVerse into its Dynamic Decision Platform provides a single API connecting device risk detection, digital identity profiling, behavioural monitoring and fraud controls.
Key enhancements include:
- Global document coverage – Recognition of government-issued ID documents from more than 220 countries and territories, supporting over 140 languages.
- Conceal mode – A user interface option that hides the user’s image during the selfie capture process, improving user comfort and supporting more accurate liveness detection, including for people with varied abilities.
- Document liveness detection – Video-based capture to prevent injection of AI-generated or manipulated images, supported by dynamic frame optimisation and enhanced OCR stitching.
- Faster capture times – Reducing average capture time from around 12 seconds to near-instant results, with support for both front and rear device cameras.
- Streamlined user flow – A six-screen verification process that removes three steps from the previous version to reduce drop-offs.
Kimberly Sutherland, global head of fraud and identity at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, said the enhancements are aimed at helping organisations balance strong security with seamless customer onboarding. She said integrating deepfake detection with improved user experience allows organisations to maintain trust without introducing additional barriers for legitimate users.
IDVerse also supports ongoing authentication, enabling biometric step-up checks to help prevent account takeovers even if credentials are compromised. Its server-side deepfake-detection engine is designed to identify impersonation attempts without requiring extra user actions.
LexisNexis said the combination of IDVerse and the Dynamic Decision Platform provides a unified orchestration layer and broader visibility into identity risk, enabling organisations to verify users at scale while maintaining compliance and reducing fraud exposure.
