Why eID?
Replace traditional IDV with government-grade identity
Zero friction
Users click "Login with eID/Wallet" to authenticate without uploading documents or taking selfies.
Instant verification
Government-backed credentials deliver immediate identity assertion with no document processing wait.
Higher assurance
Cryptographic proof-of-identity with revocation checks and root-of-trust validation from the issuer.
Stops deepfakes & fraud
AI deepfakes and synthetic identity fraud are blocked, because government validation already occurred.

Global coverage
Hybrid approach
eID + traditional IDV, together
eID verification complements existing IDV during the global adoption curve. Maximize coverage today while future-proofing for tomorrow.
Partial coverage today
Not all users have eIDs yet. The EU targets 80% adoption by 2030; Gartner projects 500M+ wallet users by 2026.
Graceful fallback
Offer "Verify with eID" as the primary path, with traditional doc+selfie as backup for users without digital credentials.
Transition period (2025–2030)
During the adoption curve, hybrid approaches maximize conversion rates while preparing for full eID coverage.
