A world of electronic identity documents
The ICAO standard for electronic identity documents is widely used. But how wide? Read our blog on the use of identity document coverage.
Is your government department looking to update your identity verification processes, make your services easier to use and more widely available for your citizens, and reduce overhead costs in the bargain?
Inverid answers citizens’ demands for a mobile-first approach, and allows them to handle their governmental arrangements from home, with just their smartphone and an e-passport. Simple, convenient, and absolutely fraud-free.
We are the only provider with ISO27001, ISO 27701, eIDAS qualified module certification, eIDAS High eID.
ReadID technology has a proven upscaling capacity of up to hundreds of thousands of verifications per day.
ReadID was the first NFC-based mobile identity verification technology. A head-start that pays off.
Inverid's NFC-based remote identity verification replaces physical verification and drastically lowers costs. It is more secure, and less error-sensitive since manual data input is no longer needed.
Citizens can combine their e-passport and a smartphone to access your secure online governmental environment, where they can arrange all their dealings with you themselves.
With our Optical Character Recognition technology embedded in your government app, they simply scan their passport’s Machine-Readable Zone, which contains an encrypted key. They then use NFC to scan the microchip inside their passport, identity document or driver's licence. No typing or any special skill is required. They are securely identified within a minute.
Verification of the identity document can be combined with face matching for holder verification through our partners.
ReadID does not require dedicated handheld scanners or other complex hardware and is not bound to office locations. It works with any modern smartphone and any chipped identity document. Our technology verifies identity documents based on the chip’s cryptographic properties. Simple and secure.
ReadID works on both iOS and Android and can read identity documents from over 170 different countries. Proven to work with more than 2,600 different phone models.

Read the full storyIn all sorts of governmental exchanges, citizens must verify that they are who they claim to be. Traditionally, this meant a face-to-face meeting at the office during working hours, which was inconvenient for citizens, who must take time off from work or other occupations. It also meant a government official must be present to manually check someone’s passport, which is a costly, error- and fraud-sensitive affair, considering there may be millions of annual verifications.
Inverid's NFC-based remote identity verification replaces physical verification and drastically lowers costs. It is more secure, and less error-sensitive since manual data input is no longer needed. It is much more secure than optical verification technologies.

“It clearly shows that there is a demand in the population for a digital alternative to the physical driving license.”

Inverid, the company behind ReadID, has been certified through a unique combination of security certificates. Just as every governmental agency, it has the responsibility to not only be secure, but also to prove that they are secure. Inverid has therefore extended its baseline ISO27001 security with three additional certifications: ISO/IEC 27701 for Privacy Management, eIDAS module for Qualified Trust Service Providers (digital signatures), and eIDAS electronic identification (eID) at assurance level High.
The latter two module certifications are unique: Inverid is the first and the only technology provider in the identity document verification industry with a certified automated solution for qualified digital signatures and eID High. All certifications have been assessed by the well-known and accredited German/Austrian auditor TÜV.

NFC is a very secure technology for identity verification. Watch our webinar where we asked Greg Christopher from the UK Home Office to give us his view of this relatively new technology. Greg has been working with ePassports since their introduction in the UK and advises on the security of electronic documents, both on the production side and also when they are read at the UK Border and on mobile solutions.
The UK government (Government Digital Services, GDS) has updated its guidance on how to prove and verify the identity of a customer or an employee, also referred to as Good Practice Guide (GPG) 45. We summarise this guidance here and explain how ReadID’s NFC-based identity verification fits in this guidance.
