    Why proxy candidates get through

    Manual ID checks at exam centres are slow and inconsistent. Queues build at the gate, invigilators struggle to match tired faces to old or low-resolution ID photos, and impersonators count on exactly that.

    How exam-centre verification works

    Step 1

    Enroll

    Load each candidate's registered photo ahead of the exam from your registration or hall-ticket system.

    Step 2

    Verify at entry

    The candidate looks at any phone or tablet. The face is matched to the registered photo on the device, and passive liveness rejects printed photos and screen replays. No blinking, no head turns.

    Step 3

    Audit and sync

    Every decision is logged. Records queue offline and sync when the network returns. Mismatches are flagged for supervisor review.

    No capex. Any device.

    Run it on the Android or iOS phones and tablets your centres or invigilators already have. No dedicated cameras, no on-site server, no cabling. Tested across 18,000+ Android models (2GB RAM minimum). Roll out to many centres by distributing the app and managing users, devices and centres centrally.

    Data integrity you can audit

    Matching runs on the device, so verification does not depend on connectivity
    Offline queue with safe sync, so no records are lost
    Audit trail and compliance reports for every decision
    You control consent, retention and where records go

    Proven at election scale

    In the Bihar panchayat elections, FaceTagr verified 5M+ voters across 4,000+ booths in a single-day statewide rollout on mobile devices, fully offline, against decades-old, low-quality ID photographs. Exam centres face the same problem: many sites, patchy connectivity, imperfect photos, one day, no room for failure.

    Exam verification FAQs

    Does it work offline?

    Yes. Face matching and passive liveness run on the device. Records queue and sync when connectivity returns.

    Does it work with low-resolution or old ID photos?

    Yes. This is a core strength, proven in the Bihar elections against decades-old voter photographs.

    What devices do we need?

    Android or iOS phones or tablets. Android needs 2GB RAM minimum. No special cameras or servers.

    Can it connect to our registration or exam system?

    Yes, through a RESTful API, and through an SDK for native, Flutter and React Native apps.

    How is this different from online proctoring?

    Online proctoring watches remote candidates through a webcam. FaceTagr verifies identity at the point of entry at physical exam centres, and the SDK can be embedded in your own candidate app. It complements online proctoring.

    Can we start with a pilot?

    Yes. Start with a single exam centre and scale from there.
