NFC-based identity verification
Simple and AML-compliant for fast onboarding.
It takes an electronic ID card and a smartphone for your customers to conveniently register for your services.
IDnow eID is an automated and fully AML-compliant identification product, using what your customers probably already have: a German national ID card with an activated eID function and an NFC-enabled (Near Field Communication) smartphone.
This makes IDnow eID a fast and user-friendly way for your customers to identify themselves with their German identity card.
To improve conversion, IDnow eID can be seamlessly combined with IDnow VideoIdent to provide users with alternative identification solutions within our unique platform, if the eID function is not enabled or the smartphone does not have an NFC interface.

User Flow
Seamless identity verification using the identity card.
The German national identity card must be equipped with a radio frequency identification chip (RFID chip) and the eID function must be switched on. The user also needs their personal 6-digit PIN. The smartphone requires an NFC (Near Field Communication) interface, as the mobile device serves as a card reader and the data is transmitted via an encrypted channel.
Verification in 5 simple steps
The user chooses an IDnow eID identification.
The user enters their personal 6-digit PIN.
The user holds the ID card next to their NFC-enabled smartphone.
The relevant data is cross-checked with the user and transmitted through a secure encrypted channel. Background checks verify the validity of the ID card and whether it has been blocked.
The verification process is completed instantly.
