document verification
Confirming paperwork legitimacy
Document verification is the process of confirming that a document is authentic, unaltered, and belongs to the person presenting it.
This typically involves checking security features like watermarks, holograms, or official seals, and may include comparing information against databases or other records.
The bank requires document verification before opening an account.
In digital contexts, document verification often uses automated systems that scan IDs or credentials and flag potential forgeries or inconsistencies.
