Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a US W-2 form or pay stub for a mortgage application?
Upload the document to TamperCheck and it runs 200+ forensic checks on font rendering, IRS format patterns, employer EIN consistency, and compression history. The system names the exact field that was edited - such as the wage figure or tax withheld - and returns a verdict within seconds.
Can AI detect fake American documents like W-2s and green cards?
Yes. TamperCheck uses font analysis, arithmetic reconciliation, metadata provenance, and compression artifact detection. It catches forged W-2 forms, tampered pay stubs, fake green cards, altered I-20 forms, and edited closing disclosures. Each finding names the specific field that was changed.
What US documents does TamperCheck support?
TamperCheck supports W-2 forms, 1099s, green cards, EAD cards, I-20 forms, I-94 arrival records, social security cards, closing disclosures, and escrow statements, alongside universal types like bank statements, passports, and payslips. One integration covers every document type with no per-type setup.
What are the most common signs of a fake US pay stub?
Check for font inconsistencies between the pay figures and the rest of the document, arithmetic mismatches between gross pay, federal tax, state tax, and FICA deductions, missing or altered employer EIN numbers, and metadata showing editing software. TamperCheck automates all of these checks.
