Legitimuz presents unprecedented news in Brazilian iGaming: ‘KYC Sem-Doc’

The iGaming industry is about to experience a revolution with the launch of ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ (Document-Free KYC) by Legitimuz, which arrives to make the registration process on online platforms even easier. This is a pioneering solution that promises to transform the entire identity verification process, completely eliminating the need for physical documents.

This means that this new system is ready to simplify the registration process, in addition to establishing a new standard of security and efficiency, placing Legitimuz, once again, at the forefront of technological innovation in the sector.

Get to Know Legitimuz's ‘KYC Sem-Doc’

The "Know Your Customer" (KYC) process is a fundamental criterion in the regulatory framework of any iGaming operator, mandatory for betting companies to operate in compliance with local rules.

Until now, this process required users to submit their personal documents for analysis, such as ID cards and CPF, and wait for verification and comparison with the provided data.

Typically, when carried out using Legitimuz's solutions, this step takes about 30 seconds, which is already an extremely attractive time. However, it is now set to be reduced to a third.

More clearly, Legitimuz is once again set to transform this scenario with the launch of Document-Free KYC, an innovative solution that greatly simplifies the verification process.

Using the most advanced facial recognition technology, ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ can validate a user's identity in seconds.

The system is powered by an extensive and secure database of over 120 million faces, each duly cataloged and continuously updated to ensure accuracy and security.

In other words, the 30-second analysis time is now reduced to just 10 seconds, further decreasing user abandonment rates and significantly increasing platform conversion.

How does ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ work in practice?

The identity verification process with ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ happens, in summary, in four steps:
 

  1. Image capture: When registering on a platform using ‘KYC Sem-Doc’, the user simply needs to position their face in front of the device's camera. The system captures the image in real time.
     
  2. Database comparison: The image is instantly compared with a secure database containing over 120 million faces. This database is managed to ensure security and compliance with privacy regulations, such as LGPD.
     
  3. Instant confirmation: If the user's face is already registered in the database, the identity is confirmed in seconds. This eliminates typical delays associated with traditional document verification.
     
  4. Alternative authentication: For new users whose faces are not recognized, the KYC process is carried out normally through document analysis using OCR.
     

Is ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ safe?

Yes, Legitimuz's ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ is extremely secure. It uses advanced facial recognition technology to verify user identities, providing multiple layers of security and minimizing fraud possibilities.

Besides eliminating the need for physical documents, the system compares captured images in real time with a database of verified faces.

It is noteworthy that this process completely prevents fraud attempts aimed at manipulating documents that could be falsely presented.

All this happens through a process called 1-to-N, where your face is immediately compared with all those registered in the database and, when identified, associated with your respective personal documents for validation, such as driver's license, passport, and ID card.

Moreover, by eliminating the need to handle and store sensitive documents, ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ significantly reduces the risk of data breaches.

Instant verification via facial recognition also decreases the chance of malicious actors entering, ensuring that only a real—and validated—user can complete their registration.

Finally, the system is designed to adapt to any fraud attempt, continually learning and improving its recognition capability.

Therefore, besides offering a fast and frictionless identity verification, ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ is a solution that significantly reinforces security and trust in the platform for operators and users in the iGaming ecosystem.

This clearly shows that Legitimuz's ‘KYC Sem-Doc’ is a solution that not only meets the regulatory requirements of the iGaming sector but also significantly enhances the user experience, making the verification process almost imperceptible, secure, and highly efficient.
