NFC chip scans of identity documents can protect all stages of the Identity and Access management lifecycle- sign up, sign in, authorisation, and recovery. Over a billion people can already use their most secure proof of identity: their chipped identity document.
What makes chipped documents so secure? Deepfakes, bots, and scammers simply cannot imitate valid identity documents with digitally verifiable chips.
Cryptographic digital proof of identity document authenticity is only available through NFC chip scans.
More than 170 countries issue chipped identity documents, and more than a billion people have them.
A familiar user experience, just like paying by phone in stores. It works with all modern smartphones.
In three simple steps, your customers can verify their identity securely anywhere at any time. ReadID is easy to use, scales limitlessly, and our analytics prove high conversion rates.
You can add ReadID to your own apps with our SDK or add your branding to our ready-to-use ReadID Ready app. Complement NFC with biometric verification and fall back to optical technology for people who don't have chipped documents.
Passkeys are bound to your device, which is great for eliminating phishable passwords.
But what happens to your passkeys when you break or lose your device?
Customer Identity and Access Management professionals must build recovery processes that underpin cryptographic authentication, not undermine it. Document chip cryptography matches the security levels needed for FIDO Passkey recovery, allowing seamless account recovery.
A recurring issue for financial service Aegon was re-verifying existing clients, which required face-to-face meetings and inconvenient paperwork. In an unprecedented six-week time frame, Aegon’s Bank Online Team expertly led the roll-out of the ReadID Ready app.
ING customers use their chipped identity documents to both onboard and re-verify their identity when they have switched to a new device. Watch the app in action and read our blog post on app activation with NFC.
High Resolution: Optical document verification is affected by lighting conditions, movement, reflections, shadows and camera image quality. Why not use the reference face image straight from the source?
Original: The NFC chip contains the original (often colour) high-resolution image taken when your document was issued- no obfuscating watermarks.
Tamper Evident: Cryptographic hashes of the face image stored on-chip detect swapping one face image for another.
Verify then trust with a high-quality reference.
All can be prevented with NFC identity verification. ReadID gives the most secure proof of document authenticity, and is easy to implement, with an SDK or ready-made app available.
Extensive user testing and our analytics prove that ReadID is a first-class experience for users and developers.
Dynamic animations based on device and document make the verification process a breeze for new users.
Fully documented UX best practices put developers on the path to successful integration of ReadID in your own app.
ReadID can integrate within your existing identity access and management platform orchestrations.
You can connect complementary technologies in whichever flows you like, adding background checks for onboarding, risk signals for step-up authentication or liveness detection for step-up authorisation.
Add NFC chip scans in any flow, not just for onboarding new users but protecting all your existing users in account recovery.
