Facial Verification & KYC System
Identity checks without the paperwork. A live selfie is matched against an ID document, and users get their result right away.

Identity checks without the paperwork. A user takes a selfie, uploads their CNIC or passport, and the system tells them right away whether the two faces match.
The challenge
Checking IDs by hand is slow, and it gets harder as more people sign up. My client needed a KYC (Know Your Customer) step that could verify people automatically and still give them clear feedback in the moment.
What I built
- Document upload: users submit a CNIC, passport or other ID.
- Live selfie check: a live photo is captured and compared against the face on the document.
- Face matching: computer vision lines up a live face with a printed or scanned photo, even though the two look quite different.
- Instant feedback: users see their verification result right away instead of waiting for a manual review.
Tech behind it
- Python + OpenCV for face detection and matching.
- Flask for the API.
- MySQL to store user records and verification logs.
