About cidaas ID validator

The cidaas ID validator is a cloud-based identity verification solution that enables secure and efficient identity verification.
It provides capabilities such as document authenticity checks, liveness detection, biometric face matching, and—where required—document data matching.

This documentation provides both:

  • an introduction to the concepts, purpose, and scope of the ID Validator
  • a technical integration guideline intended for developers, architects, and compliance teams

The primary goal is to make integration straightforward, secure, and transparent, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and enabling a smooth user experience.

Key Features​

  • AI-powered document analysis
    Supports ID cards, passports, residence permits, driver licenses, and additional national formats.

  • Liveness detection
    Ensures that the captured face sample originates from a real, present person.

  • Biometric face matching
    Compare the document portrait image with the live-captured face sample.

  • Document data matching
    Match customer-provided data with extracted document data (e.g., last name, birth date).

  • Flexible verification modes
    Adapt depth and steps of verification to compliance, risk, and UX requirements.

  • Web-based and mobile-optimized verification
    No SDK required unless desired; default WebApp performs on any device.

    For internal identity validation or trusted communities.

Security and Certification​

eIDAS Regulation​

The Electronic Identification, Authentication, and Trust Services (eIDAS) regulation establishes a uniform legal framework for secure and seamless electronic interactions across all EU member states and the European Economic Area (EEA).

The cidaas ID Validator is designed to comply with the requirements of eIDAS Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 and its successor, Regulation (EU) 2024/1183.
This ensures that identity verification processes are carried out in line with the latest European standards for electronic identification and trust services.

By aligning with eIDAS, the ID Validator provides:

  • A predictable regulatory environment for digital identity processes
  • Support for cross-border interoperability within the EU and EEA
  • A secure foundation for Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) and other trust services

The Advanced IdentEidas specification of the ID Validator is hence fully compliant with eIDAS and includes:

  • Biometric fraud detection
  • Strict liveness checks
  • Document integrity validation
