    Shufti Unveils New Product NFC Verification for NFC Based Identity Verification

    Shufti pro

    Shufti has launched a new product, NFC Verification, that uses Near Field Communication technology to verify chip-based identity documents such as e-ID cards, e-passport, and e-driving license. NFC Verification will allow us to provide our customers with a highly accurate IDV solution and vastly improve the user experience.

    Governments around the world are increasingly adopting chip-based ID documents. Even the EU has a regulation that obligates the use of chip-based ID documents. It is expected that by the end of 2021, the number of e-IDs will increase up to 3.6 billion. This has raised the need for an NFC-based identity verification solution that can swiftly verify chip-based ID documents. The demand for NFC technology is on the rise as 81% of smartphones are now NFC-enabled. 

    The e-ID documents have a chip embedded in them that encrypts the personally identifiable information of the user. NFC Verification will now use the NFC technology to swiftly and automatically extract the encrypted information from the chip and screen it against the information on the ID document to ensure its authenticity.

    With the help of NFC Verification, we can now provide a smooth customer experience to our clients along with a reliable solution that can now swiftly and more accurately identify fake, stolen, or doctored ID documents. 

    How NFC Verification Work

    1. The end-user uploads the photo of the NFC-enabled ID document 
    2. The end-user taps the NFC chip of their ID document against the NFC reader on the smart device
    3. NFC Verification matches the data extracted from the NFC chip against the information on the ID document 
    4. The results are immediately delivered in real-time  

    Our CTO, Shahid Hanif talks about the significance of NFC, “Due to the increase in the demand for digital IDs, the businesses are looking for a faster way for identity verification. Technology is evolving rapidly and being a global service provider it’s crucial for us to adopt the new trends in mainstream technology and provide our customers with a more reliable identity verification process. This will not only enhance the accuracy of results for our customers but will help them improve their customer experience by incorporating new technologies in the user verification journey.”

    Putting the needs of our customers ahead has always been the aim of Shufti. Previously we got recognition with The Great User Experience Award for assisting our customers in streamlining their customer onboarding operations. Now with NFC Verification, we will cater to our customers’ needs by helping them and their customers with a seamless NFC-enabled ID verification solution.
