How to verify the authenticity of a Chinese passport online?

Many business or personal processes require the presentation of an identity document: recruitment, rentals, KYC processes, etc.

Nowadays, documents are generally scanned or photographed before being sent by email; therefore, it becomes difficult to ensure that these documents are authentic and have not been created from a generic template found on the web.

Our product addresses this issue by extracting the information from the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) of identity documents directly online, analyzing it, and verifying the security keys that ensure their authenticity.

And all this in just a few seconds !

How does the online Chinese passport validity check work?

After your purchase is validated, you will receive an email with credentials to log into our identity web application (please check your spam folder a few minutes after purchase if you do not receive the activation email).

Use Cases

  • Recruitment and Onboarding
    When you need to validate a candidate’s identity before signing an employment contract, online identity document verification ensures document compliance and limits fraud risks. You save time in administrative processes and offer a smoother experience to your future employees.
  • Real Estate Rental
    When signing a lease, you can require verification of identity proof to validate the tenant’s seriousness. This step ensures the submitted document is authentic and that information (name, birth date, etc.) has not been modified or forged.
  • KYC Process (Know Your Customer)
    In banking, finance, or for service providers subject to anti-money laundering and fraud prevention obligations, identity validation is essential. MRZ reading and security key verification help comply with regulations while simplifying checks.
  • Online Service Registration
    Whether for access to a gambling platform, online trading, or any other service requiring proof of majority or strong authentication, automatic identity document checking allows quick verification that the user meets legal conditions.
  • B2B Relationships or Partnerships
    In some partnerships or commercial contracts, identity proof may be required to confirm the identity of a partner or legal representative. Automated identity document verification helps secure transactions and builds trust between parties.

How does the Chinese passport validity check work?

An automatic reading zone, or optical reading zone, is an area on an official document reserved for reading, identifying, and validating the document.

Thus, documents such as passports, national identity cards, residence permits, and driving licenses may or must include, depending on the country and document version, an optical reading zone.

It is located in the lower part of identity documents: it contains all the information present on the document with security keys allowing to verify their authenticity and that they have not been modified.

The information found varies depending on the type of document.
