Kairos Identity Verification checks identity documents and compares a selfie with the document photo, combining ID scanning, fraud checks, and real-time liveness checking in an automated operation. Kairos says it covers 4,000 passport and ID types from more than 190 countries and detects fake or altered documents. Its liveness check uses a single selfie to verify that the image was captured live and deter spoofing. Developers can connect through an API that Kairos says works with any programming language, while users can upload selfie images and ID documents through the web interface for manual verification. The company says face images are immediately masked as templates, stored data is encrypted with AES-256, and TLS protects data in transit. Its listed security practices also include role-based IAM, audit trails, monitoring, firewalls, data masking, and tokenization. The free plan includes 100 API transactions and a two-week trial. The Pro plan is $49 per month and includes 100 API calls; Kairos lists per-call rates of $0.65 for 0–1,000 calls and $0.50 for 1,001–5,000 calls. An on-premise option has pricing on request.
