As part of your Mitek verification process a Liveness Check will take place, they will guide you through the process. A liveness check, also known as "anti-spoofing", involves the processing of biometric data. “Biometrics” is the measurement and recording of unique physical characteristics used for personal identification (e.g. facial recognition, fingerprint, palm print, retina recognition).
You will be required to take a selfie using your camera on your device. You can take the selfie using your PC/laptop camera or opt to take it on your mobile phone.
The selfies you provide will be processed and compared against the photo ID provided. This allows us to verify who you are by matching you with your ID. Your selfie (biometric data) will be used once for this purpose and will be stored as proof of the identity verification process.
By doing your Liveness check, you consent to processing of the data by Mitek. Just follow the instructions. You’ll need to take a photo using your camera rather than uploading an existing picture, so make sure your webcam or phone - whichever device you’re using - has a good working camera.
The final step is to take photos, again using your device’s camera, of documents that prove your identity. You’ll be asked to take photos of the front and back of your driver’s licence and Passport Card, of these documents.
Which documents can I use?
There’s a number of documents you can use, including;
To save time, make sure you have got one of these documents handy before you start.

We will request photo ID in order to identify you, for example, a valid passport, or driving licence. Please make sure when you upload your proof of ID that:
Other documents
We may request you to upload other documents such as a proof of address document, for example a bank statement (dated within 6 months) or other documents such as certificate of incorporation. These section should be side by side on the same page.
Once you've sent us your liveness check and photo of your ID, we’ll take approximately two business days to check your details. We’ll then get back in touch to update you on your application, so look out for an email from PTSB Asset Finance.
If you don’t want to send us your proof of ID online, or you choose not to use the Mitek service, there are other ways of supplying the documents we need.
Please read the Mitek privacy policy statement for further information.
