There are numerous situations in which a person's identity needs to be verified. However, the person concerned often lacks the time to verify the identity by the authority or the bank. For this reason, companies use online identification as part of the digital transformation. This enables identity verification from home, independent of location and time, saves costs, and offers a high degree of flexibility.

 

What is an identity check?

The classic identity check is a process in which the identity of a natural person is checked. The aim is to assign the available personal data (identity card or passport) to this person and to verify the authenticity.

Significance and advantages of online identification

Online identification plays a significant role in risk management for many companies. It is integral to preventing fraud and protecting a person's integrity and authenticity.
