eKYC

eKYC

Onboard Every Citizen with Confidence, in Seconds.

Every national digital programme begins with one question. Is this person who they say they are? Before a citizen can hold a Digital Identity credential, claim a benefit, or register a SIM, an agency has to verify them with confidence.
Our eKYC solution establishes that trust at first contact. In under thirty seconds on any smartphone, a citizen’s document is authenticated, their biometric confirmed, and their name screened against sanctions. The verified record then feeds Digital Identity, the civil registry, or the requested service.

What We Deliver

AI Document Capture and Authenticity Checks

Citizens scan their national ID, passport, or residency permit from any smartphone or web browser. The platform extracts data with optical recognition (OCR) trained on African and MENA documents, including Arabic, Kurdish, and Urdu fields, then runs authenticity checks against the issuing authority’s design templates. Forged, expired, and tampered documents are rejected before they reach a caseworker.

NFC Chip Reading for ePassports and Chip-Enabled IDs

For chip-bearing documents, the platform reads the embedded NFC chip directly from the citizen’s phone, validates its cryptographic signature, and confirms the data has not been altered. 156 NFC passports are supported out of the box, including non-ICAO variants common in the region. For governments issuing chip-based national IDs, this is the strongest possible proof of document genuineness.

Passive Liveness and Biometric Match

A short selfie capture confirms the person presenting the document is a real human, present in the moment, and the same person whose photo appears on the document. Passive liveness blocks photos, video replays, masks, and deepfakes without requiring the citizen to perform awkward gestures. Face matching runs at 99.5% accuracy and is calibrated against regional demographic data.

Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media Screening

Every applicant is screened in real time against more than 1,700 sanctions and watchlists, 1.7 million PEP records, and over 3 billion adverse media articles. Fuzzy matching handles Arabic and regional transliteration variants that defeat global-only screening engines. Hits are surfaced to the agency caseworker with full context for adjudication.

Duplicate Detection and Biometric De-duplication

A national programme cannot tolerate the same person being enrolled twice under different names. The platform performs 1:N biometric matching against the existing enrolled population, surfacing duplicates and synthetic identities before they enter the civil registry. This is essential infrastructure for social benefits, voter rolls, and any programme where uniqueness matters.

Risk-Based Verification Paths

Not every applicant needs the same scrutiny. The platform adjusts the verification path in real time based on the signals it sees during the session. A low-risk citizen completes in under thirty seconds. A higher-risk applicant is automatically stepped up to additional checks, deeper document capture, or human review. Officers focus their time where it counts.

Caseworker Console and Audit Trail

Referred cases land in a single review console showing the captured documents, the biometric match, the screening hits, and the system’s recommendation. Officers approve, request further information, or reject with reason codes. Every verification produces a time-stamped, tamper-evident audit record that satisfies regulatory review and public accountability requirements.

Sovereign Deployment Options

eKYC can run as a managed cloud service, inside the government’s private cloud, or fully on-premise within a national data centre. Air-gapped configurations are available for high-sensitivity programmes. Citizen data stays under national jurisdiction by design, not by exception.

Open Integration With Civil Registries and Programme Systems

Verified records hand off cleanly to the systems that need them, including national Digital Identity issuance, civil registry databases, social benefits platforms, telecom registration systems, and ministry-specific case management. Integration uses a no-code launch option, an 8MB mobile SDK, a web SDK, and REST APIs, so programmes can adopt verification in weeks.

    The Difference It Makes

    01

    Establish Trust at the First Touchpoint, Not the Tenth

    The Digital Identity programmes and e-services that follow are only as trustworthy as the verification that created them. eKYC sets the assurance level for everything downstream, so when a citizen later uses their credential to access a service, the underlying record was earned, not assumed.

    03

    Onboard a Population, Not Just an Individual

    Verifying one person in thirty seconds is interesting. Verifying millions at the speed of a national rollout is transformative. The platform is engineered for high-volume programmes such as national digital identity, social benefits enrolment, refugee registration, and citizenship-wide SIM registration, with biometric de-duplication built into the flow.

    01

    Stop Ghost Beneficiaries Before They Enter the System

    Social benefits, subsidies, and electoral rolls suffer most from duplicate and synthetic identities. 1:N biometric matching and document authenticity checks at enrolment close the gap that traditional paper-based registration cannot. Public funds reach the people they were intended for.

    03

    Bring the Underserved Into the System on Their Own Phone

    Rural, remote, and underbanked citizens are excluded when verification requires travelling to a registration centre. When the same level of assurance is available on a basic smartphone, geography stops being a barrier to citizenship in the digital state.

    03

    Built for the Region, Not Adapted to It

    Arabic, Kurdish, and Urdu OCR. Regional document libraries. Non-ICAO NFC passports. Demographic-calibrated face matching. Fuzzy name matching for Arabic transliteration. Sovereign deployment as a first-class option. These are the things a global-first verification engine handles poorly, and they decide whether a national programme succeeds or stalls.
