IDENTIFYING INVALID IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS

The method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium embodiments described herein provide for identifying invalid identification documents. In various embodiments, an application executing on a user device prompts the user device to transmit an image of the identification document.

The identification document includes a plurality of visual elements, and one or more visual elements of the plurality of visual elements are one or more invalidating marks. The application detects a predetermined pattern on the identification document in the image, the predetermined pattern formed from the one or more invalidating marks. The application determines that the identification document is invalid based on the detected predetermined pattern.
