Mobile Biometric Authentication

As governments expand their digital services, citizens increasingly expect to complete administrative procedures without unnecessary visits to public offices. From passport applications and driver's license renewals to other government services, digital access is transforming how people interact with public institutions.

Yet convenient access must go hand in hand with reliable identity verification and the protection of sensitive personal data.

Veridos Netset's Mobile Biometric Authentication (MBA) solution enables citizens to verify their identity remotely using facial recognition technology.

By capturing a facial image through a smartphone camera, users can confirm their identity as part of an online administrative process, without requiring additional authentication hardware.

The solution incorporates biometric verification and anti-spoofing mechanisms designed to detect fraudulent attempts involving photographs, videos or masks.

This approach combines strong identity verification with a more accessible and convenient user experience, supporting the development of secure digital government services.

Consider a passport renewal as an example. Through an eGovernment application integrated with MBA, citizens can initiate the process, verify their identity, and complete the required steps online.

Step 1: Access the service

A citizen whose passport is about to expire opens the eGovernment application and selects passport services.

Step 2: Select passport renewal

The citizen chooses the passport renewal option.

Step 3: Verify personal information

The citizen enters their ID number, which the system checks against the national database.

Step 4: Initiate facial recognition

The application request's biometric identity verification.

Step 5: Confirm identity

The smartphone camera captures a facial image for biometric authentication.

Step 6: Complete payment

The citizen selects a preferred payment method and completes the transaction.

Step 7: Receive confirmation

The application provides confirmation and instructions on when and where the passport can be collected.

Mobile Biometric Authentication demonstrates how biometric technology can simplify interactions between citizens and public institutions.

By enabling remote identity verification, MBA can reduce the need for in-person administrative visits while maintaining a strong focus on data protection and secure authentication.

It represents another step towards digital government services designed around people's everyday needs.
