The liveness check helps us confirm that a real person is taking the test (and not a photo or video).
If it’s not working for you, don’t worry, this usually happens due to blink speed, lighting, or visibility, and it’s easy to fix.

What the system is checking

We’re looking for a natural, slow eye blink that the camera can clearly detect.
Blinking too fast or too forcefully can sometimes be missed by the system.


How to pass the liveness check

Follow these steps carefully before trying again:

1. Blink slowly and naturally

  • Look directly at the camera

  • Close your eyes slowly (about 1 second)

  • Open them again slowly

  • Avoid rapid or repeated blinking

Tip: One calm, slow blink works better than many fast blinks.


2. Check your lighting

  • Make sure light is in front of your face, not behind you

  • Avoid sitting with a bright window or lamp behind you

  • Your eyes and face should be clearly visible on screen


3. Reduce glare and obstructions

  • If you’re wearing glasses, try removing them to avoid glare

  • Make sure nothing covers your eyes (hair, cap, shadows)


4. Stay still and relaxed

  • Keep your head steady

  • Don’t rush the action

  • There’s no time pressure take a moment and blink calmly


Still not working?

If the check fails after multiple attempts:

  • Refresh the page and try again

  • Recheck lighting and camera clarity

  • Follow the steps above slowly
