Document checks prove a document is real. Face Match proves the right person is holding it. The API compares two facial images and returns a similarity score, with a decision against the threshold you configure, so onboarding can stop impersonation without a human reviewer.
Pair it with Liveness Detection to be sure the selfie is a live capture and not a photo of a photo.
