The Digital Identity Validation accelerator wraps Amazon Recognition services and provides readily available functionality to perform Identity validation by comparing faces on an ID card and a selfie.

The accelerator code is open, and further layers of validation can be implemented according to compliance needs, like:

• MRZ code OCR for ID documents that have it like passports, 

• Identifying and whitelisting types of ID document or 

• Recognizing video instead of a selfie.
