Introduction​

The ID Document and Biometric Verification solution drastically simplifies the onboarding process in many industries like banking and finance. With this solution, you can perform online onboarding of your prospective customers by scanning their ID documents and do biometric checks by comparing their ID photo with a selfie or a video recording.

eIDV services​

You can use one of the following electronic Identity Document Verification (eIDV) services to verify an end-user's identity by scanning and checking the information of an ID document. These eIDV services are currently available through the Signicat Assure API:

More Signicat APIs

In addition to getting access to the above eIDV services through the Signicat Assure API, you can also integrate towards ReadID and VideoID through some other Signicat APIs:

  • Signicat offers ReadID Saas SDK and ReadID Ready through their respective ReadID APIs. See the separate ReadID product documentation.

  • Signicat is also developing a new API, the ID Proofing API, combining ReadID and VideoID into one solution. Documentation for this will follow later.
