LUMEX

lumex.id is an identity verification service for websites and apps. A user scans their national ID card or passport with the live camera and takes a short selfie, and the site gets a clear result. Built, owned and operated by Tothiq.

How it works

The site sends the user to a secure lumex.id link. They choose a document, scan the front and back, then take a selfie with one head turn to prove a live person is in front of the camera. The whole flow runs in the phone browser with no app, and a user on a computer finishes on their phone by scanning a QR code.

What it checks

It reads the machine-readable code lines on the document and verifies every check digit, so typos and edited numbers are caught. The camera captures the card only when it is sharp and free of glare, and there are no file uploads, so edited photos cannot be submitted. The selfie is compared with the document photo, and the result comes back as approved or declined with a similarity score.

For developers and their users

Sites use a hosted verification link or create sessions from their server and receive signed webhooks. Test and live keys are kept separate. Images are deleted right after the check, and the whole flow switches between English and fully right-to-left Arabic with one tap.
