eID Verification

Start here

This guide presents a technical overview of our eID Verification solution, which is scheduled to be rolled out soon.

Introduction

With the increased adoption of government-approved electronic identities (eIDs) in Europe, these digital identification methods represent a secure and regulatory compliant alternative to physical ID verification in markets where they are supported, enabling businesses to efficiently approve more users.

Once released, our eID Verification solution will allow businesses to leverage a growing selection of such eIDs to verify users across multiple European markets in a scalable, efficient and cost effective manner. You can read more about how each eID complies with local regulatory requirements on this page.

We will initially support eID schemes in Italy, with additional countries to be rolled out in future.

Combined with Onfido's AI-powered identity verification, library of trusted data sources, and support for technologies such as Qualified Electronic Signature, our end-to-end solution is helping businesses to adhere to regulatory compliance with a locally optimised approach.
