Veridos and Credence ID Unveil Innovative All-in-One Verification Device for Digital and Physical ID Authentication
Berlin, 20 September 2024 – E-Seek by Veridos and Credence ID, leaders in identity solutions, announce the launch of the VeriCHECK M500+™, the world's first all-in-one verification device designed to authenticate both digital and physical ID documents. This innovative solution addresses the growing need for seamless ID verification as mobile credentials gain popularity alongside traditional physical IDs - and is targeted at the North American market.
The VeriCHECK M500+ integrates E-Seek’s proven physical credential reader, already used by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at over 220 U.S. airport locations, with Credence ID's Tap2iD™ digital verification platform. This combination enables secure authentication of digital IDs such as mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs), using NFC and QR code technologies, and complies with the latest ISO mDL/mID standards. With compatibility across popular digital wallets, including Apple and Google, this device offers flexibility for both government and commercial applications.
The VeriCHECK M500+ is a plug-and-play solution, operating in both online and offline modes to ensure uninterrupted service. After the initial online set up, key features include stand-alone operation with instant verification results displayed directly on the device screen. Other features available in online mode are remote management capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor, update, and configure the device from a smartphone or browser.
This versatile device meets various ID verification needs across sectors such as banking, travel, hospitality, and retail, simplifying the authentication process for age-based services and secure transactions. With its ability to handle both physical and digital IDs on a single platform, the VeriCHECK M500+ represents the next evolution in ID verification technology.
Corinna Schindler, Managing Director of E-Seek and Veridos Global Vice President, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Credence ID, stating, "Our goal is to provide superior identity verification products. This collaboration allows us to offer best-in-class solutions for both physical and mobile verification to government and commercial businesses, meeting today's needs while preparing for the future."
Bruce Hanson, President & CEO of Credence ID, emphasized the innovative nature of the VeriCHECK M500+, adding, “We’re excited to offer a hybrid solution that verifies both physical and digital IDs on a single platform. Customers want the convenience of using their digital IDs just as they do with physical cards, and this 'all-in-one' ID verifier makes that possible."
