Residence permits are NFC compliant
Back in 2002 the European Council standardised the residence permits in EU countries. In Europe 18 years later, almost all comply. Great news for you and us.
Identity verification for HR
Know Your Employee made easy
Verifying the identity of your future employees is an important step in onboarding new people. This sounds more easy than it is in practice. Is your HR department capable of checking identity documents? From your own region, maybe; from countries far away, probably not. Still, you have to keep record that you checked the identity and at the same time you must comply with privacy legislation. On top of that, COVID-19 has restricted contact substantially, so how do you verify identities remotely?
Very secure
ReadID uses the electronic identity document everybody has. Secure and flawless. Much more secure than optical solutions or video verification.
Easy to implement
Use our ready-to-use app for onboarding, no coding needed. Or integrate ReadID in your own app, if you use one. We host, update and monitor it in all cases.
Easy to use
ReadID is built upon knowledge derived from millions of transactions. Your people will love it, creating high conversion and less manual labour when onboarding.
Video verification not secure, NFC creates trust
Many employment agencies and HR departments rely on verification of copies of identity documents or video verification. They think they have to, as meeting people at the office is not advised now. However, our research shows that copies of identity documents are simple to manipulate and video verification is both intrusive to the employee as well as expensive.
So why not combine security with ease of use? Introduce trusted identity information in your organisation.
Identity verification in the office or remotely
In the office, ReadID can be used to verify identity documents in the presence of the employee. No need to understand the intricacies of foreign documents, the app checks and records the evidence that is was checked. Realtime, easy. You can check the high-res image from the chip with your future employee in the office.
When onboarding remotely, use ReadID Ready to verify the identity. You can send the employee a mail or letter with a QR code and use our ready-to-use app to verify his or her identity. This can include selfie verification, where the image in the document is compared to a selfie taken by the employee. Identity verification at the highest trust level possible. ReadID Ready can be launched within weeks.
How does it work?
ReadID uses NFC based identity verification. We leverage what every employee has: a smartphone and a passport or identity card. Nearly all passports and most identity documents are chipped. They have a chip inside that contains all the necessary information in a way that is impossible to tamper with and can be checked within seconds. This includes a high resolution image of the person, free of watermark or security markings.
ReadID reads and verifies that chip in a few steps, 100% secure, 100% easy.
- Scan the machine readable zone in the passport or on the identity card to get the key to the chip;
- Read and verify the contents of the chip, holding the identity document near to the smartphone;
- Optionally, checking the ID can be combined with face verification: we verify the person holding the document now is the actual owner.

Proven compliance
From the identity verification process, ReadID can compile an evidence package to be used in the HR files. Employment agencies can use this to prove the identity when proposing candidates to temporary contracts. The evidence package is GDPR compliant. No risk of mistakes at the HR department that can have severe consequences.
"We were looking for a tool that can take away employees' doubts when they are not certain whether an identity document is authentic or not."
