When you create a Yoti, we capture a short video of you from your mobile phone’s camera, and use this to create a biometric template of your facial features. Passing a video stage gives us high confidence that we've captured an image of a real person in front of a camera, not a spoof through an automated bot, mask or photo.
Then, if you choose to add a photographic ID document (like a passport or driving licence) and complete your account, we verify that the photo on your ID document matches your biometric template.
