ID – Verification of German identity card validity

After your purchase is validated, you will receive an email with credentials to log into our identity web application (please check your spam folder a few minutes after purchase if you do not receive the activation email).

• Platform access
  • You log into the web application using the credentials received by email after your purchase or registration.
• Verification mode selection
  • From your dashboard, you choose the option “Verify an identity document.”
• Document upload
  • You upload the scan(s) (front/back) of the identity document, as image (.jpg, .png) or PDF files.
  • No additional manipulation (cropping, rotation, etc.) is required: the system automatically detects the orientation and the MRZ area.
• Automatic analysis
  • The service reads the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) and verifies the security keys.
  • It checks essential information (card number, date of birth, expiration date, etc.) as well as the integrity of the document via the check digits.
• Instant result
  • The analysis results are displayed immediately in the interface as a status (pass/fail) and a detailed report (PDF, JSON or XML).
  • The report specifies the recognized fields and the validity of each element (check digits, date consistency, etc.).
• Report download and archiving
  • You can download or view the PDF report directly.
  • The data remains available in the history for later consultation, but you have the option to delete it at any time (privacy guarantee).
• Optional integration (API)
  • If you have a CRM or ERP, you can use the API to automate verification: the document is sent to the service and the report (or simply the status) is returned to your internal software.
  • You can find all the details at these links:
    • Identity API
    • Resources API
• Account and credit management
  • Your analyses are charged only in case of successful MRZ detection (i.e., if the information has been correctly extracted).
  • You can check your credit balance at any time and, if necessary, subscribe to a plan adapted to your needs.
• Support and assistance
  • In case of difficulty or questions, you can contact support by email or through the integrated help interface.
  • Additional resources (guides, FAQ, API documentation) are also available online.

Use Cases

• Recruitment and Onboarding
  When you need to validate a candidate’s identity before signing an employment contract, online identity document verification ensures document compliance and limits fraud risks. You save time in administrative processes and offer a smoother experience to your future employees.
• Real Estate Rental
  When signing a lease, you can require verification of identity proof to validate the tenant’s seriousness. This step ensures the submitted document is authentic and that information (name, birth date, etc.) has not been modified or forged.
• KYC Process (Know Your Customer)
  In banking, finance, or for service providers subject to anti-money laundering and fraud prevention obligations, identity validation is essential. MRZ reading and security key verification help comply with regulations while simplifying checks.
• Online Service Registration
  Whether for access to a gambling platform, online trading, or any other service requiring proof of majority or strong authentication, automatic identity document checking allows quick verification that the user meets legal conditions.
• B2B Relationships or Partnerships
  In some partnerships or commercial contracts, identity proof may be required to confirm the identity of a partner or legal representative. Automated identity document verification helps secure transactions and builds trust between parties.

The answer is no! Only a correctly recognized document is billable!

If characters are not correctly detected (which may happen with a poor quality photo, for example), you have the option to correct them to ensure reliable analysis no matter what.
