The Government Record Verification module verifies a person's identity by comparing identity attributes and, where supported, a live selfie against government-held records, producing a match or no-match outcome.

How It Works
The module uses data collected earlier in the session, often by the ID Capture module, to query the database for the government that issued the ID.
For US-issued documents, the module supports two check types:
- DMV Data Match routes the request based on the issuing state. It uses the ID number to retrieve the corresponding DMV record. It then compares submitted identity attributes against the DMV record. The result is a match or no-match outcome per attribute or an overall result, depending on the state.
- DMV Face Match also routes by issuing state. It retrieves the DMV record using the ID number and required fields. Required fields vary by state, but commonly include first name, last name, and date of birth. It then performs a biometric comparison of a live-captured selfie against the DMV photo on file. The level of result detail varies by state and may include an overall pass or fail, a score, or field-level detail.
When both check types are available for a given state, the module prefers DMV Face Match and falls back to DMV Data Match.
For non-US documents, the module compares OCR-extracted data from the identity document against the record held by the government.
Overall results are returned as pass or fail outcomes. You can view them on the GovMatch tab in single Session view.
