ePassport coverage
More than 170 countries issue identity documents that can be read with our technology and the number is growing rapidly. What is the current state and how is it developing?
Identity verification for travel and Borders
Safe, Secure, and Seamless
Exploit the benefits of digital document verification to allow for the highest level of security, the fastest transaction times and the best possible traveller experience.
Whether you are meeting a government regulatory requirement to secure the border; or an airline, cruise or other operator, ReadID combines Security and Facilitation through its NFC-First technology to deliver a seamless experience across borders in the travel industry.
Security
ReadID was the first to provide NFC-based mobile identity verification technology, allowing us to always be ahead of the game when it comes to tackling cyber-security, identity fraud and travel and hospitality. We meet the ICAO’s Guiding Core Principles for the Development of Digital Travel Credentials (DTC).
Passenger Experience
No unnecessary obstacles to adoption. No on-site infrastructure requirements to put in place. Move your required data collection upstream, to the couch of the customer where they can fill out data without the stress that comes with travelling. ReadID works instantly and your customers will love it.
Scalable
ReadID is built on a scalable architecture, so whether you need hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of verifications per day our product is more than capable. There are no manual steps to complete, thus creating a fully automated journey that travellers enjoy, and governments accept.
Meeting Regulated Data Requirements
Whether your need as a carrier is to ensure accurate identity data for the purposes of Advanced Passenger Information (API), Passenger Name Record (PNR), or for the existing and emerging requirements globally for Entry-Exit Scheme (EES), Entry Travel Authorisation (ETA) and eVisas, ReadID has you covered.
Recently, much has changed to the European Commission Regulations impacting API and PNR announced on 13th December 2022. ReadID can support you in meeting the requirements.
Future Immigration with ETA and eVisas
Whilst clearly there are regional, legal, and eligibility differences between an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) and an Electronic Visa (eVisa), for a traveller they both require an application stage. Applying for an ETA or eVisa can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
With ReadID trusted mobile identity verification, governments and their suppliers providing application processing vetting of applicants can begin from their mobile device, with the highest levels of trust. In the case of low-risk individuals and regions, this may eliminate visits to an embassy, consulate, or visa access centre, saving money for the government and time for the traveller. In combination with automated assessments, governments can approve or reject travel authorisations long before the trip starts.
For use cases such as the European Entry-Exit System (EES) or the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), countries can use ReadID in combination with biometrics to streamline border processes securely. ReadID allows third-country nationals to pre-register, drastically shortening the process and therefore impact at the point of entry. It can enable pre-screening of risks to focus on the right person at the right time.
Turn any Smartphone into an e-Gate
Many countries see growing numbers of travellers, refugees, or third-country nationals at their borders. Handling these securely is time-consuming as well as a logistical challenge, often leading to long waiting times, frustration, and avoidable risk.
The two-way nature of NFC as a technology allows for a Smartphone to either be the gatekeeper itself or be the access token to an e-Gate or border crossing point.
