Detect tampered and forged documents in Kenya
Kenya faces document fraud across banking, education, and government services. Forged bank statements, academic certificates, and identity documents are submitted for loans, employment, and tender applications.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a Kenyan bank statement is real or fake?
TamperCheck runs 200+ forensic checks on font rendering, arithmetic reconciliation, metadata provenance, and compression artifacts. It names the exact field that was edited - such as the closing balance or an individual transaction - and returns a verdict within seconds.
Can AI detect fake Kenyan documents like academic certificates and KRA certificates?
Yes. TamperCheck analyses font weight, kerning, glyph rendering, and recompression history for each OCR field. It catches tampered bank statements, forged academic certificates, fake KRA tax compliance certificates, and altered national IDs. Findings are resolved to the individual field.

Check for font inconsistencies between the degree details and the university letterhead, missing or altered registrar signatures and seals, metadata showing editing software, and compression artifacts around edited grade figures. TamperCheck automates all of these checks.
