How it works

Conversion meets security – fast, tamper-resistant identity verification

To verify their identity with ePassID, users only need an NFC-enabled smartphone. The chip is read straight from the ID document, with no PIN for the user to enter, which keeps onboarding smooth and reduces drop-offs.

Capturing a photo of the identity document

The data from the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) and the Card Access Number (CAN) is automatically captured using OCR.

Reading the identity document via NFC

The My WebID app reads the chip embedded in the identity document via NFC and automatically verifies its authenticity. Users simply hold the document against their smartphone. Supported documents include passports, national identity cards and electronic residence permits (eAT) with an integrated chip.

Biometric face matching

As an additional security measure, liveness detection is performed together with a biometric face match against the portrait photo stored on the identity document’s chip. A check against a fraud blocklist is also carried out in the background.
