Document fraud tools examine identity and financial documents for signs of alteration, forgery, counterfeit production, or synthetic generation.
How the risk develops
Document fraud usually combines a false story with a document that appears credible enough to pass a fast digital or manual review.
An attacker may use stolen personal information, a synthetic identity, a recruited mule, or a legitimate applicant whose documents have been compromised.
Images, PDFs, pay stubs, bank statements, identity cards, checks, and other records may be edited, recaptured, cloned, or generated to support the claim.
The fraudulent document is submitted during account opening, lending, payments onboarding, benefits access, or another process that relies on document authenticity.
Credit, funds, access, or a transaction is approved before cross-document, device, identity, and behavioral signals reveal the wider pattern.

Acquired by Giesecke+Devrient in 2023, OCR Labs benefits from G+D's deep government identity and secure document manufacturing expertise.
Evaluation guide
Use the public directory as a starting point, then verify current facts, fit, and obligations with each provider and your internal stakeholders.
Confirm the document types, countries, languages, and capture channels required by your intake flows.
Ask how the provider handles AI-generated, recaptured, altered, and low-quality documents, and what evidence is returned with a decision.
Test the handoff between document signals, manual review, identity verification, and downstream case management.
Review deployment, data residency, retention, auditability, and support commitments before a production decision.
