Regula
Forensic Document Verification — 30+ Years of Identity Document Expertise
Regula is one of the world's oldest and most comprehensive document verification companies, with over 30 years of forensic expertise in identity document analysis. The company operates a proprietary database of 14,000+ document templates from 247 countries and territories — the world's largest curated library of identity document reference data. Regula's solutions span hardware (UV, IR, and forensic document readers), software APIs for automated document verification, and the Regula Document Reader SDK for mobile and web deployment. Unlike newer document verification startups, Regula's forensic heritage enables detection of sophisticated physical forgeries and digitally altered documents that AI-only systems miss. Used extensively by border control agencies, law enforcement, and financial institutions requiring the highest standards of document authentication.
