Pre-border verification shifts checks upstream — before departure.

Executive Summary

GLMVH is a UAE-born verification layer built to authenticate identity, offer and recruiter legitimacy before a worker departs a source country. Anchoring checks in the UAE endpoint aligns NGOs, recruiters and consulates to one source of truth trusted by employers and regulators.

Thesis: Verification is not a document — it is a protocol. When verification is upstream, rescue turns into prevention and policy becomes enforceable code.

The Problem We Solve

  • Identity duplication and impersonation due to weak KYC.
  • Contract substitution between offer, attestation and arrival terms.
  • Unlicensed or proxy recruiters with no corridor accountability.
  • Paper attestations not machine-verifiable or audit-replayable.

The GLMVH Approach

  1. Identity: biometric KYC (face + liveness) and duplicate search.
  2. Offer: template parity (role, wage, terms), tamper evidence, version history.
  3. Recruiter: license verification + risk score + complaint linkage.
  4. Attestations: embassy/consulate credentials bound to case as verifiable proofs.

Architecture at a Glance

  • Case Model: links Identity, Offer, Recruiter and Attestations.
  • Evidence Log: append-only ledger with hash-referenced artifacts.
  • Interfaces: employer portal, regulator console, API access, consulate read scopes.
  • Security: zero-trust perimeter, tenant encryption domains, PII vaults.

Impact for the UAE

  • Fewer fraudulent files reaching airports and employers.
  • Audit-grade traceability with replayable evidence.
  • Predictability for compliant recruiters and faster onboarding.
  • Reputation protection for the UAE as a leader in ethical labour mobility.
“Moving verification upstream is not bureaucracy; it is infrastructure. It replaces luck with proof.” — GLMVH Architecture Note
