Identity Verification Service IDnow Achieves First Place in Europe by Complying with Latest eIDAS 2.0 Identity Authentication Regulations
IDnow Achieves ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 Certification, Boosting Digital Identity Verification in Europe
IDnow, a leading European identity verification platform provider, has achieved the ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 certification, a significant milestone for the remote identity verification industry in Europe. This certification offers numerous benefits for European businesses, particularly in terms of identity verification and compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
The ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 standard, developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), provides a comprehensive framework for compliant identity verification services. It outlines requirements for presentation attack detection, injection attack detection, and biometric-integrity assurance, ensuring robust and secure identity verification processes.
The certification validates that IDnow meets stringent biometric verification and security criteria, facilitating trusted and reliable digital identity verification across Europe. This achievement demonstrates IDnow's commitment to compliance and security in identity verification, making them one of the first providers in Europe to fulfill the biometric and security standards required for compliant identity verification.
The benefits of this certification are far-reaching. Enhanced trustworthiness and security are guaranteed through compliance with biometric and security standards under ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1, making identity verification processes robust and resistant to fraud. This is crucial for meeting AML requirements.
Regulatory compliance is also ensured, as the certification aligns identity verification solutions with European regulatory expectations. This simplifies adherence to AML regulations that demand stringent customer identity verification and risk management.
Being certified under ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 establishes providers as among the first and most credible in Europe to meet these advanced standards, boosting confidence among business partners and regulators. Additionally, the interoperability and harmonization provided by ETSI standards ease cross-border financial operations and AML compliance.
The upcoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) will also use ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 as the standard for AML-compliant identity verification for qualified trust services. This further underscores the importance of this certification in the European context, particularly in the face of rising threats from deepfakes and increasingly sophisticated types of online fraud.
IDnow's Founder and Managing Director, Armin Berghaus, stated that this milestone is not just a technical and security achievement, but a practical commitment to advancing digital onboarding in the most regulated industries, such as finance, mobility, and telecom. The certification was awarded to IDnow following rigorous testing by the accredited conformity assessment body, QSCert.
With this certification, IDnow has established itself as a leader in advancing digital onboarding in the most regulated industries, ensuring secure, compliant identity verification processes that satisfy AML regulations and bolster their reputation in digital identity services.
