VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — As forged passports and synthetic identities flood international borders, financial institutions, and corporate networks, sophisticated identity screening has never been more urgent.
To address this global security challenge, Amicus International Consulting now provides real-time biometric and metadata screening services to help governments, banks, and private institutions detect and neutralize identity fraud before it becomes a threat.
“Fraudulent identities don’t just affect individuals—they destabilize entire systems,” said an Amicus employee. “Combining biometric scrutiny with metadata analytics, we help institutions spot fakes before they enter.”
The Growing Threat: Synthetic Identity and Passport Fraud
According to INTERPOL and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF):
- Synthetic identity fraud is the fastest-growing form of financial crime
- Over 60,000 forged passports are in active global circulation
- Biometrically altered travel documents now pass conventional machine inspections
- Fake digital identities created with AI-generated metadata are being used for everything from banking access to international trafficking
Traditional fraud detection is no longer sufficient. Institutions now require real-time, cross-platform verification tools that assess biometric authenticity, document integrity, and digital behavioural patterns.
Amicus’ Technological Response: The Identity Integrity Platform™
Amicus International’s Identity Integrity Platform™ (IIP) is a comprehensive identity screening solution that:
- Detects forged passports, national IDS, and synthetic digital personas
- Validates biometric data in real time using facial, iris, and gait analysis
- Assesses metadata consistency, behavioural patterns, and device history
- Flags inconsistencies in travel history, IP origin, and document issuance logs
- Integrates with existing border control, banking KYC, and visa screening systems
Key Features of the IIP:
✅ Biometric Verification Engine
- 3d facial recognition using liveness detection
- Voiceprint and iris scan comparison to known watchlists
- Real-time gait and posture analysis for behavioural biometric confirmation
✅ Metadata Cross-Matching Suite
- Verifies document origin, issuance history, and digital signature hash
- Flags VPN masking, time zone mismatch, and device fingerprint inconsistencies
- Detects linguistic stylometry patterns that betray alias reuse
✅ Global Intelligence Integration
- Connects with INTERPOL Red Notices, OFAC watchlists, and Europol data
- Supports integrations with private AML services and regional databases
- Allows screening of encrypted travel manifests and passenger records
“You can fake a document, but you can’t fake your gait, your typing cadence, or the time your phone calls home,” said the Amicus employee.
How Institutions Use the Platform

- Detect repeated digital behaviour from different applicant aliases
- Verify age, nationality, and identity claims with biometric traceability
Case Studies: Prevention in Action
Case 1: Caribbean Airport Stops Fugitive with Forged ePassport
An individual attempted to enter Antigua with a forged biometric passport tied to a different name. Despite the chip appearing valid, the IIP flagged inconsistencies in gait data and voiceprint. Authorities arrested the individual and later matched fingerprints to a U.S. fugitive database.
Case 2: European Bank Blocks Synthetic Business Loan Application
A corporate loan application under a newly formed tech firm raised no immediate red flags—until Amicus’ system detected AI-generated metadata inconsistencies in the business owner’s documents. The applicant was later linked to a sanctioned entity operating through shell corporations.
Case 3: Immigration Service Detects Alias-Based Family Reunification Scam
A man in Latin America applied for reunification with his family in Canada using altered biometric records. Amicus’ system identified a stylometric match with an existing asylum applicant already rejected under a different name. The case was denied, and the data was shared with authorities.
Ethical, Secure, and Lawful
Amicus’ services:
- Comply with GDPR, PIPEDA, CPRA, and international human rights norms

A Message to Institutions
In 2025, bad actors will use better technology than ever. Fake passports aren’t paper—they’re microchipped, biometrically enhanced, and backed by synthetic digital lives. Static KYC protocols, outdated border checks, and isolated databases are no longer enough.
Amicus International’s Identity Integrity Platform™ arms your institution with the intelligence, detection power, and biometric scrutiny needed to stay ahead of the fraud, not behind it.
