What is a liveness check?

Modified on Fri, 7 Mar at 10:19 PM

To keep your Spot account safe, we use a biometric liveness check as part of the verification process. This helps us make sure it's really you.

Here’s how it works: During the check, you'll look at your camera and follow the on-screen instructions. The system will take your picture and compare it with records from the Department of Home Affairs to confirm your identity.

Tips for a smooth verification:

  • Position your face within the frame.
  • Keep your device at eye level.
  • Follow the instructions to move your head, but don’t move the camera.
  • Avoid any big or fast movements.


If you're having trouble, don’t worry—just tap the “Get help” button in the app or on our website to chat with us.
