What is ARGOS Identity?
ARGOS Identity helps compliance and operations teams verify people and review documents with two products: ARGOS ID Check and ARGOS Omni.
With ARGOS ID Check, users verify themselves in a hosted flow: they capture their ID, take a selfie and pass a liveness check, and the result arrives as approved, rejected or pending. Behind it, ID Check reads 4,000+ ID document types from 200+ countries, checks the ID for forgery, matches the face to the ID photo, screens users against sanctions and PEP lists and keeps monitoring them. Your team sets the approval thresholds and custom policy rules, and cases that need judgment go to reviewers as pending.
With ARGOS Omni, a Review Ops Agent, reviewers write their criteria in plain language. Omni turns them into a playbook and reviews each case the way the team would: it checks that the required documents are there, extracts and compares the data, screens names against AML watchlists, and returns verified, rejected or pending_review with the reason and evidence for every decision. Teams use it for business customer onboarding (KYB), vendor onboarding, corporate telecom subscription review and insurance claims.

ARGOS Identity Categories and Features
RegTech Software
ARGOS Identity specializes in developing compliance solutions tailored for regulated onboarding and assessment processes. Their ARGOS ID Check service focuses on verifying customer identities (KYC) while incorporating AML screening and continuous oversight. The platform adheres to specific data residency requirements for each project, maintains ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and offers features such as delete and partial-delete APIs to accommodate GDPR and CCPA inquiries. Meanwhile, ARGOS Omni functions as a Review Operations Agent, applying a team's established review guidelines to individual cases, which may include KYB document assessments or AML evaluations. It meticulously documents the applicable rules, supporting evidence, and rationale behind each decision, along with the operational playbook at the time of review. Cases requiring human judgment are categorized as pending_review for further evaluation.
OCR Software
ARGOS specializes in extracting text from identification and business documents. With the ARGOS ID Check, it can identify over 4,000 types of ID documents from more than 200 nations, utilizing OCR for data extraction, MRZ validation, and PDF417 barcode verification for driver's licenses, while also checking for potential forgery during the verification process. For additional types of documents, ARGOS Omni can extract text from PDFs, images, scans, and office files, converting it into customizable structured fields for your review and decision-making. Users can also access the Textify OCR demonstration to test OCR and data extraction capabilities with their own sample files.
Liveness Detection Software
The ARGOS ID Check process incorporates liveness verification at two distinct stages. The ID liveness assessment ensures that the identification presented is an authentic physical document rather than a mere photocopy or digital display. Meanwhile, the selfie liveness check—both passive and active—verifies that a real individual is positioned in front of the camera, ruling out the use of a still image or deepfake. This selfie is subsequently compared to the photo on the ID. The liveness verification can be conducted within the Liveform platform, which supports 26 languages and is accessible via web and app WebViews, or through the Verify engine APIs. The outcomes are delivered through a webhook, return URL, or REST API alongside the verification results.
KYC Software
ARGOS ID Check is an advanced KYC/eKYC solution that comes with a comprehensive API. It integrates multiple features within a single workflow, including the recognition and verification of ID documents, facial comparison between selfies and IDs, both passive and active liveness checks, and anti-money laundering (AML) screening against sanctions and politically exposed persons (PEP) lists, with continuous monitoring. This solution supports over 4,000 types of identification documents from more than 200 countries, such as passports, national identification cards, driver's licenses, and residence permits. Users can access the hosted Liveform, available in 26 languages through a single URL, or utilize the Verify engine APIs. Results can be received as approved, rejected, or pending via webhook, return URL, or REST API. The ARGOS Score thresholds and personalized policy rules guide the decision-making process for each verification case, and the migration API facilitates the import of existing verification data.
KYB (Know Your Business) Software
ARGOS Omni specializes in the evaluation of Know Your Business (KYB) documentation as part of the onboarding process for business clients, including B2B marketplace vendors and merchants. Operating as a Review Operations Agent, it articulates KYB review criteria in straightforward language. For each business, it examines the submitted documents—such as a good standing certificate, IRS EIN notice, and beneficial ownership certification for US entities—extracts relevant company and owner information, and cross-verifies these details. Additionally, it conducts screenings against Anti-Money Laundering (AML) watchlists. Address verification is supported across 40 regions. The system provides results categorized as verified, rejected, or pending review, along with supporting evidence, via a REST API and a comprehensive PDF report.
Intelligent Document Processing Software
ARGOS Omni serves as a Review Operations Agent designed specifically for document evaluation. Users can articulate their review standards in straightforward language and specify the JSON format they require; Omni then transforms these standards into a structured playbook. For every case, it analyzes the submitted documents—ranging from PDF and DOCX to XLSX, PPTX, images, TXT, Markdown, CSV, HTML, and EML—extracting relevant information, comparing fields across various documents, ensuring necessary entries are complete, and determining the status as verified, rejected, or pending review. Each extracted data point includes its rationale and the originating source step, with results accessible through a REST API or as a downloadable PDF report. Common applications include Know Your Business (KYB) document assessments, vendor onboarding processes, corporate telecom subscription evaluations, and insurance claim assessments.
Identity Verification Software
ARGOS ID Check is a comprehensive solution for identity verification, offering features such as recognition and validation of ID documents, face matching through selfies, liveness detection (both passive and active), and ongoing anti-money laundering (AML) monitoring. It supports over 4,000 types of identification from more than 200 nations. Users can implement it via a hosted Liveform accessible through a single URL in 26 different languages, or they can create a personalized user interface utilizing the Verify engine APIs. Results are delivered as approved, rejected, or pending through webhooks, return URLs, or REST APIs. The system allows customization with ARGOS Score thresholds, an automated-only mode, and tailored policy rules to guide decision-making. Additionally, ID Check complies with ISO/IEC 27001 standards for security.
Identity Management Software
ARGOS ID Check specializes in the identity verification segment of identity management. It ensures that newly registered users are authentic individuals whose identities correspond to legitimate identification documents from over 200 countries. Additionally, it performs screening against sanctions and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) lists while providing continuous monitoring. Once a user is onboarded, the FaceAuth feature conducts a re-verification process by matching a new selfie to the previously approved selfie, eliminating the need for another ID scan. Identity data is securely processed and stored within the designated region for each project, and both delete and partial-delete APIs are in place to address requests related to GDPR and CCPA compliance. ARGOS prioritizes the verification process over login or access management functions.
Fraud Detection Software
ARGOS ID Check is designed to identify identity fraud during the onboarding process. It conducts thorough examinations of identification documents to identify any signs of forgery, employs ID liveness checks to detect photocopies and screen recordings, and utilizes both passive and active liveness assessments on selfies to eliminate photos and deepfakes. It also identifies risky sessions through proxy and VPN detection, while device verification adds an additional layer of security. To prevent duplicate sign-ups, it analyzes name, date of birth, gender, and nationality against previous submissions, and it implements face duplication checks to identify if the same individual is attempting to register more than once. After the onboarding phase, the FaceAuth add-on performs a re-verification of an approved user using a new selfie. The ARGOS Score thresholds and tailored policy rules guide the decision-making process for each case, with any that do not meet criteria being flagged for further review as pending.
Facial Recognition Software
The ARGOS ID Check system performs facial recognition for the purpose of identity verification. It assesses the user's selfie against the image on their identification document, utilizing both passive and active liveness detection to ensure that the selfie is sourced from a real individual, not a photograph or deepfake. Additionally, it conducts face-duplication checks to prevent the same individual from registering multiple times. The FaceAuth feature allows for the reuse of a previously verified selfie to authenticate the individual in future instances. Facial matching can be executed either within the hosted Liveform or via the Verify engine APIs, with results being delivered through webhook and REST API.
Data Extraction Software
ARGOS is designed to extract organized data from various document types through two distinct products. The ARGOS ID Check focuses on verifying identity documents by utilizing OCR technology for data extraction, along with checks for the MRZ and PDF417 barcodes found in driver's licenses. On the other hand, ARGOS Omni serves as a Review Ops Agent that processes business-related documents, including formats such as PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, images, CSV, HTML, and emails. It identifies and extracts values according to your specified output schema in JSON format, verifies these values across multiple documents, and logs the reasoning and source for each extracted item. The results can be accessed via the Omni REST API, along with a comprehensive PDF report. Additionally, a demo of Textify OCR is still available for users to test OCR capabilities and data extraction on sample documents.
Biometric Authentication Software
The ARGOS ID Check utilizes facial recognition technology in two key stages. During the onboarding process, it matches a real-time selfie against the image on the identification document, employing both passive and active liveness detection to prevent the use of photos and deepfake technology, while also conducting face-duplication checks across all submissions. Once onboarding is complete, the FaceAuth feature re- verifies a previously approved user by comparing a new selfie with the one from their original verification, allowing for the identification of returning users without requiring another ID scan. The outcomes of FaceAuth are delivered via webhook, and the associated facial images can be removed through the API.
AML Software
The ARGOS ID Check service incorporates Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, where approved users are assessed against lists of sanctions and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). This process includes continuous monitoring, with results communicated via webhook, and AML reports are accessible through the REST API. Additionally, ARGOS Omni serves as a Review Operations Agent, integrating AML screening into the document review process. Its AML Search - Person and AML - Business modules evaluate individuals and organizations involved in a case, recording the decisions made for each call and retaining AML evidence PDFs alongside the analysis. Cases requiring human evaluation are flagged as pending_review, ensuring that a human reviewer can assess the AML cases effectively.
