Article content

Are you looking for a way to verify your identity online without having to visit a branch office?

Remote identity verification using biometrics is a modern and secure solution that already meets the strictest European standards.

How does remote identity verification work?

1. Start the process on the website using your mobile phone (via QR code) or on your desktop computer with a webcam.
2. Take photos of your identity document (national ID card or passport) from both the front and back.
3. Complete the biometric facial verification with a liveness check.
4. Once the process is successfully completed, your data is verified, and you can obtain your certificate.

What is a liveness check?
It is an advanced security check that verifies a real, live person is in front of the camera—not a photograph, video, or deepfake.

What can you use it for?

• Obtaining a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)
• Issuing Advanced Electronic Signatures
• Fast digital onboarding of new employees
• Electronic communication with public authorities and business partners
