The process of verifying the identity of the signer using “LIQUID eKYC”
"LIQUID eKYC" is a service that completes identity verification online by photographing identification documents or reading IC chips and matching them with self portraits, or by using public personal identification (JPKI). The service is characterized by a low withdrawal rate and low percentage of unclear images during the process, as well as high accuracy of automatic face recognition by using biometric and image recognition technologies.
"LIQUID eKYC" will provide Docusign with an online ID verification solution that enables the sender to verify the identity of signers during the signing process when an agreement requires a high level of trust. The identity verification procedure is simple, as the signer can complete it by taking a photo of their driver’s license issued in Japan and face with a smartphone.
