Seamless Integrations, Powerful Results

One integration point for all three verification layers.

  • Pass user details and target market, the API routes to the correct layer based on configurable rules: risk score, country, regulatory requirement, or client preference.
  • Responses follow a standardised schema regardless of which layer processes the request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is electronic identity verification (eIDV)?

Electronic identity verification confirms a person’s identity by cross-referencing their details against authoritative digital sources, government registries, national eID schemes, credit bureaus, and biometric databases, without requiring physical document uploads. eIDV replaces manual document review with automated, source-level checks that return results in seconds.

How does eIDV work? What are the verification layers?

eIDV operates through three layers. Database verification checks user-provided details against government and commercial databases without user interaction beyond data entry. Government eID authentication authenticates users through national eID schemes (BankID, MitID, Singpass) where the user proves they control the credential. Biometric liveness verification adds iBeta-certified facial matching on top of database or eID checks.

What happens if a country does not have a government eID scheme?

Database verification covers 85+ countries including markets where national eID schemes have not yet reached adoption. Users in those countries are verified against government databases, credit bureaus, and national registries in under 3 seconds. If eID coverage is later added for that market, the upgrade is automatic.

Which eID providers does Shufti support?

Shufti integrates with 30+ national eID schemes including BankID (Sweden, Norway), MitID (Denmark), iDIN (Netherlands), itsme (Belgium), UAE Pass, Singpass (Singapore), PhilSys (Philippines), DigiLocker (India), Smart-ID (Baltics), SPID (Italy), and more. The full list is available on the interactive coverage map.

How does Shufti handle multi-vendor consolidation?

Shufti replaces the need for separate database, eID, and biometric providers. Database verification, eID authentication, and biometric liveness all run through one API, one contract, and one audit trail, reducing integration complexity and audit overhead.

What certifications does Shufti hold eIDV services?

Shufti’s eIDV is backed by ISO 27001:2022 certification, PCI DSS compliance, GDPR data processing compliance, and iBeta Level 1 and Level 2 certification for biometric liveness detection. eID authentication operates at eIDAS Level of Assurance High.

Where is verification data processed?

Verification data is processed through regional AWS infrastructure. eID authentication queries route through encrypted point-to-point connections to national eID providers. Database queries use encrypted API calls to government registries and credit bureaus. PII handling follows GDPR data minimisation requirements, and data retention periods are configurable per client.

How long does integration take?

API integration typically takes 2–5 days for standard deployments. SDK integration (iOS, Android, Web) takes 1–3 days. Sandbox access is available within 24 hours. The unified API handles all three verification layers through a single endpoint.

What is the difference between eIDV and Document Verification?

Document verification requires users to photograph and upload a physical ID document. eIDV checks identity directly against authoritative digital sources, government databases, eID schemes, and biometric records, without requiring a document. eIDV is faster (under 3 seconds vs. minutes), has higher completion rates, and eliminates vulnerability to physical document forgery and deepfake-generated document images.
