# Introduction

### The Overview

Lapis eKYC is a micro-service built on top of our Rubilink DB system, allowing institutions to built their own eKYC application by simply integrating Lapis eKYC into their application. Built into Lapis eKYC includes face matching AI, liveliness detection AI, and OCR to extract necessary personal information from legitimate government-issued identification document. Upon request, Lapis eKYC also supports phone number and email address verification. <br>

Implementation of Lapis eKYC into identity verification application requires developers to separate the codes into client-side and server-side. Developers are always to remember to implement connection from client-side to the server, such that uploading documents to server comes first, prior to calling the Lapis eKYC API from the server. The Rubi Labs development team discourages developers to connect the Lapis eKYC API directly from the client-side applications that will be distributed to the end user, including mobile application, in-browser JavaScript, and other forms of desktop applications.
