EMAS eKYC Gateway is one API that bundles document OCR, liveness, face match, and document authenticity — built around identity documents from 12 countries across Asia. SMEs integrate once and onboard customers the same week.
The EMAS eKYC Gateway is the single API that orchestrates Innov8tif's four core verification checks behind one integration point.
Each customer onboarding gets a unique JourneyID. Your system passes that one identifier through OCR, liveness, face match, and document authenticity, then retrieves a combined Scorecard at the end.
The Gateway handles identity documents from twelve countries across Asia out of the box — nine ASEAN markets plus China, Hong Kong, and the UAE. Submitted data is purged after fourteen days.

Your backend calls Create JourneyID with the credentials Innov8tif issues. You get a JourneyID that scopes one customer's flow.
Submit the ID image to OkayID for OCR. Run OkayDoc authenticity and OkayFace face-match in parallel — both reuse the same JourneyID. Layer in OkayLive if you want liveness on the selfie.
Pull the combined Scorecard for one pass-or-refer signal plus component-level scores. Make the onboarding decision in your own backend.

The Gateway sits between your customer-facing app and the four AI services. Integration is server-to-server: your backend holds the credentials and orchestrates the flow. Mobile SDKs are optional if you want a native camera flow with on-device quality checks.
OkayID, OkayLive, OkayFace, and OkayDoc run behind a single integration — wrapped by JourneyID at the start and a combined Scorecard at the end. No juggling four separate vendors.
Twelve countries' national IDs are supported on day one — Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, UAE, Vietnam — plus international passports.
OkayDoc and OkayFace run in parallel against the same JourneyID. End-to-end verification typically completes inside a minute, including OCR and Scorecard retrieval.
Every JourneyID returns a Scorecard with component-level results. Data is retained fourteen days so your compliance team can review or export before purge.
OCR plus document-type recognition. Extracts and validates fields per country.
Passive liveness detection — no head-turns or blinking required. Confirms the customer is real, present, and not a replay or spoof.
Matches the customer's selfie against the portrait extracted from the ID document.
Tamper, forgery, and copy detection. Splits MyKad, passport, and non-MyKad pathways.
Twelve countries are supported out of the box for national IDs — Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, UAE, and Vietnam — plus international passports. Malaysia covers MyKad, MyKas, MyTentera, MyPR, MyKid, MyOKU, MyPolis, MyPoca, and Driving License.
OkayID averages five to ten seconds for OCR. OkayDoc and OkayFace run in parallel against the same JourneyID, so the end-to-end onboarding — including image capture and Scorecard retrieval — typically completes inside sixty seconds.
The Gateway is a backend-to-backend REST API. Any engineer comfortable with HTTP requests can wire it in — Postman collections and step-by-step guidelines are provided. SMEs without an in-house team typically work with one of Innov8tif's regional integration partners.
The JourneyID and all submitted data — images, OCR output, scores — are purged after fourteen days. Your own systems retain only what you choose to persist from the Scorecard response.
Gateway calls are backend-to-backend so your credentials stay server-side. For mobile capture you can layer in the OkayCam SDK, which adds on-device image-quality checks before the captures hit your backend.
Innov8tif's components are deployed under KYC and AML programmes across ASEAN — including Malaysia's BNM-regulated financial services, Indonesia's OJK-supervised lenders, the Philippines' SIM registration mandate, and ASEAN insurance regulators. Talk to us about your specific compliance framework.
