IDVaaS

Entrust’s IDVaaS solution allows remote verification of an individual’s claimed identity for immigration, border management, or digital services delivery. This innovative process utilizes smartphone reading and validation of electronic machine readable travel documents (ePassports or eIDs), combined with ability to remotely access the trusted biometrics for comparison with a live, current facial biometric. IDVaaS builds on Entrust’s 25+ years of digital identity expertise and 50+ years of security innovation. It provides an ability to remotely verify that the individual is who they say they are, based on an ICAO-compliant eMRTD and a trusted ISO quality biometric matched to the individual.
