Sumsub, a full-cycle verification platform, has introduced its Australia DVS (Document Verification Service) Verification product.
This solution offers real-time, government-backed validation of identity documents, including passports, driving licences, and visas.
By integrating with DVS, Sumsub ensures compliance with local anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations while reducing fraud and streamlining onboarding through automation.
For Australian businesses that require secure and compliant document verification, Sumsub’s DVS Verification facilitates user onboarding with real-time identity validation.
This integration allows both new and existing clients to verify Australian users more efficiently while enhancing security.
A key advantage of Sumsub’s DVS Verification is its ability to help businesses comply with Australian regulatory requirements.
By providing a government-backed document validation solution, it ensures organisations meet identity verification obligations.
The service also supports a wide range of Australian identity documents, including passports, driving licences, and foreign passports containing a visa.
Automating document validation helps businesses lower operational costs by reducing the need for manual checks. It also minimises the risk of penalties associated with non-compliance. The system delivers quick and accurate results, instantly generating clear and actionable verification outcomes.
Additionally, it enhances fraud prevention by identifying data inconsistencies, helping to reduce identity theft and fraudulent account creation.
A recent initiative, the Scam Prevention Framework, aims to enforce stricter safeguards, introducing penalties of up to US$50 million for non-compliance.

“As we deepen our commitment to Australia, the integration of DVS verification into our database validation solution reflects our strategic focus on supporting Australian clients with a secure, government-backed process to stay ahead of evolving threats. Our goal is to help businesses achieve compliance with AML and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) standards while optimising customer due diligence procedures.”
said Penny Chai, Vice President of Business Development, APAC at Sumsub.
Sumsub’s increasing focus on Australia is part of its broader expansion across the Asia-Pacific region. In 2023, the company established its first APAC headquarters in Singapore, leveraging the country’s role as a fintech hub with a growing ecosystem of digital assets and financial technology firms.
To drive its regional growth, Sumsub appointed Penny Chai as Vice President of Business Development, overseeing operations and strategic development in Asia.
