What is the "Identification process" while opening accounts with a Banker?

The bank generally follow the basic due diligence process when on boarding a new client, such as valid passport copy with valid visa, driving license or national ID card to identify an individual. Followed by verification of these documents with originals to ensure that those are not fake.

I believe that this is a obligatory step, which is needed in order to verify the reliability of the client and verify his identity, documents, and so on. I read about it here https://www.kvalifika.com/blog/What-is-AML-and-Why-is-it-important when I was looking for information about new technologies that allow face recognition. These are really very interesting possibilities.

Must be related to acquiring necessary documents, like an individual's proof of residence / ID, etc
