Request for Information for Document Authentication and Identity Verification Tools

The U.S. Citizen Immigration Services (USCIS) is seeking information on document authentication and identity verification tools to support its operations. The tool should be able to authenticate U.S. and foreign identity documents, extract structured data and high-quality images, and provide these outputs to USCIS systems in real-time. The solution must be 100% software-based, support multiple USCIS programs and use cases, and be reusable across remote and in-person contexts. The tool should also be able to guide users through the image capture process, check for quality issues, and allow users to retake images as needed. Some key features and capabilities required include: • Authenticate documents using template matching, rule-based checks, or artificial intelligence • Extract relevant data from documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), intelligent document processing, or computer vision-based text extraction • Support biometric chip, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and mobile integrations • Provide clear error messages and codes to facilitate smooth problem resolution • Demonstrate scalability and reliability to support high transaction volumes • Encrypt data to ensure maximum security for data at rest and in transit The USCIS is looking for a solution that can be integrated into its existing systems and applications, and that can be configured to meet the specific needs of its programs.
