Detect tampered and forged documents in Spain
Spain faces document fraud across identity, employment, and tenancy categories. Forged NIE foreigner ID numbers, empadronamiento registration certificates, and payslips (nominas) are common in rental and loan applications. The large tourist and expatriate population creates demand for verifying documents across multiple EU and non-EU jurisdictions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a Spanish empadronamiento certificate for a rental application?
TamperCheck analyses font rendering, issuer-sealed fields, and metadata provenance on empadronamiento certificates. It runs 200+ forensic checks and returns a verdict within seconds, naming the exact field that was edited rather than a generic risk score.
Can AI detect fake Spanish documents like nominas and NIE identity cards?
Yes. TamperCheck uses font analysis, arithmetic reconciliation, and compression artifact detection. It catches forged NIE/TIE documents, tampered empadronamiento certificates, fake nominas payslips, and altered academic certificates. Each finding is resolved to the individual field.
What Spanish documents does TamperCheck support?
TamperCheck supports empadronamiento certificates alongside universal types like bank statements, passports, payslips, academic certificates, employment contracts, and utility bills. The same forensic pipeline covers all 100+ document types with no per-type configuration.
What are the signs of a fake Spanish payslip (nomina)?
Check for font inconsistencies between the pay figures and the rest of the document, arithmetic mismatches between gross pay, IRPF tax deductions, and social security contributions, missing or altered employer CIF numbers, and metadata showing editing software. TamperCheck automates all of these checks.
