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 services are available through the following APIs:

  • Assure API (all the above services)
  • Identity Proofing API (ReadID and VideoID combined)
  • ReadID APIs (ReadID Saas SDK and ReadID Ready). See the separate ReadID product documentation.

Assure API​

The Signicat Assure API is a single point of integration across eIDV services. It enables you to combine a wide range of identity document verification mechanisms such as NFC reading of passports, fully automated verification using AI and manual verification performed by agents, based on the specific requirements for each individual end-user identity being verified.

Identity Proofing API​

Under development

Signicat is developing a new API for identity verification, ID Proofing API, combining ReadID and VideoID into one solution.

For now, please use the Assure API.

ReadID API​

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