RealDoc .

Document forensics and liveness for identity documents and the supporting files businesses actually receive: inspect PDFs and images for signs of tampering, forgery, alteration and reproduction attacks.

Detect the evidence that has been changed

RealDoc combines document forensics with document liveness for ID documents and supporting evidence. It looks for signs that a submitted document has been edited, composited, altered or forged - and whether it is a photocopy, a screen replay or a stitched capture rather than the original document.

Built for altered evidence

Analyse a document as evidence, looking for integrity signals that can indicate a changed amount, date, name, address or other critical field.

PDFs and images in scope

Apply the same forensic approach to uploaded PDFs, scans, photographs and screenshots of the documents that arrive in real workflows.

Document liveness detection

Detect photocopies, screen replays and stitched document captures so a convincing reproduction is not mistaken for the original.

From submitted file to defensible review

RealDoc fits before a document is trusted, used to release a service or entered into a case record. It turns an opaque uploaded file into an evidence-led decision path for operations and risk teams.

  1. 01

    Receive

    A customer or operator submits a PDF, scan, photograph or screenshot as supporting evidence.

  2. 02

    Inspect

    RealDoc evaluates the document image and file evidence for anomalies that can indicate manipulation, alteration or forgery.

  3. 03

    Explain

    The platform returns a structured risk outcome and the signals that need attention, so reviewers know where to look.

  4. 04

    Decide

    Accept, request a replacement, route to review or apply the programme’s further checks and escalation policy.

Illustrative RealDoc review workflow

Turn a suspicious file into a reviewable decision.

A document can look convincing while hiding a changed value, replaced field, composited element or inconsistent file history - or while being a photocopy, a screen replay or a stitched capture. RealDoc brings those signals into one structured review, rather than relying on a quick visual check alone.

  • Proof of address and residence evidence
  • Utility bills and account statements
  • Supplier, merchant and customer invoices
  • Supporting documents for onboarding, credit, claims and compliance

What RealDoc brings to the programme

RealDoc combines document-integrity analysis with document liveness for operational teams that need to assess supporting evidence at scale. It does not replace identity-document reading; it helps determine whether the submitted evidence is genuine and physically present.

Alteration and tamper analysis

Inspect for signs that content, fields or regions of a document have been changed, inserted, removed or otherwise manipulated.

File and image evidence

Assess both the submitted file and its visual content, supporting review of PDFs, scans, mobile captures and document images.

Photocopy, screen and stitch detection

Identify signs that an image is a reproduced document, a replay on a screen or a photo stitched together from multiple captures.

Case-ready findings

Return a risk outcome with prioritised signals so an operations team can review, escalate or request a replacement document consistently.

Workflow and policy integration

Connect forensic outcomes to onboarding, credit, claims, compliance or customer-service workflows with programme-defined thresholds and routing.

Designed for defensible evidence

Document integrity is its own control.

RealDoc should be governed as a risk and evidence control: define which document types it evaluates, which outcomes trigger review, who may override an outcome and what evidence is retained. It gives document workflows dedicated tests for manipulation and document liveness, while identity verification remains a separate control in the overall journey.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of documents can RealDoc assess?
RealDoc can assess identity documents such as passports, national IDs and driving licences, as well as supporting evidence including proof of address, utility bills, invoices and statements submitted as PDFs or images. The exact document set and thresholds can be defined for the programme.
Does RealDoc verify document liveness?
Yes. Alongside forensic checks for tampering, alteration and forgery, RealDoc can detect signs of photocopies, screen replays and stitched document captures - helping establish whether the original document is physically present.
Does a forensic outcome automatically mean a document is fraudulent?
No. A risk outcome should be used with the programme’s review and escalation policy. It highlights evidence that warrants attention so a team can accept, request a replacement or carry out a further check consistently.
