LexisNexis Risk Solutions has upgraded its IDVerse platform to help organisations spot deepfakes and synthetic identities more accurately.

The enhanced platform strengthens document checks, biometric verification and liveness detection while reducing steps in the onboarding flow.

The company said the update improves accuracy, speeds up document capture and supports a simpler verification journey.

Fraud attempts are becoming more complex as generative AI is used to forge identification and attempt account takeovers.

Many organisations still depend on separate tools for device assessment, behavioural analysis and identity checks, creating gaps that add cost, complexity and friction.

“Fraudsters innovate with speed and precision. Organisations can have both strong defenses and a seamless customer experience. This enhanced version of IDVerse delivers both.

It enables efficient onboarding, sharper fraud detection and renewed trust at every stage of the customer lifecycle. We integrate innovative deepfake defenses and a more intuitive user experience, so organisations gain stronger protection without adding barriers for legitimate users.”

said Kimberly Sutherland, Global Head of Fraud and Identity, LexisNexis Risk Solutions.

IDVerse is now integrated with the LexisNexis Dynamic Decision Platform, which combines device risk insights, digital identity profiling, behavioural signals and fraud controls in a single workflow through one API.

The integration is designed to give organisations a broader and more consistent view of identity risk while maintaining a smoother user experience.

The upgrade expands global ID coverage across more than 220 countries and territories and supports over 140 languages and typesets.

It recognises and extracts PII data from government-issued photo IDs and improves document capture through video-based liveness checks, dynamic frame optimisation and OCR stitching to reduce glare, blur and manipulated images.

Capture times have dropped from an average of 12 seconds to near-instant results, with support for both front and back cameras.

The verification flow now consists of six main screens, removing three steps from the previous version and reducing friction and drop-offs.

A conceal mode hides the user’s image during selfie capture, which the company said improves liveness accuracy, lowers false positives and reduces abandonment.

Advanced depth perception models eliminate the need to smile, improving accessibility for users with diverse abilities.

A server-side deepfake detection engine identifies impersonation attempts without requiring additional user actions.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions said the strengthened platform is aimed at helping financial services, gaming, retail, telecommunications and other sectors manage rising identity fraud risks while keeping digital onboarding efficient.
