# Liveness

The Liveness step is a crucial part of the verification process, designed to confirm that the applicant is a real, live person and not a spoof or fake identity.\
This step typically involves a video recording of the user performing specific actions, such as blinking or turning their head, to demonstrate liveness.\
\
You can find the recording in the `Liveness` block within the Applicant's profile:

This video serves as proof that the applicant completed the required actions to verify their liveness. While the screenshot only shows a still image, the platform typically allows the reviewer to access and review the entire video to ensure the liveness check was performed correctly.
