New York Notarizations: Selfie Comparisons – Proof Help Center

With Selfie Comparison the system compares a real-time selfie to the photo on an ID to confirm they match.

Proof offers Selfie Comparison when Multi-Step Verification is used for Identity Verification to complete a notarization with a notary commissioned in New York.

After a signer completes Knowledge-based Authentication (KBA) and Credential Analysis, they're prompted to take a selfie so the system can compare the selfie to the credential (ID) provided.

Selfie Comparison is limited to notarizations completed by notaries commissioned in New York.
