INTEGRATION PREVIEW

How it works

STEP 1: FLOW INTEGRATION

Add NFC verification to your KYC flow

Add NFC verification as an option for compatible devices and documents. Simply drag and drop the NFC component into your flow builder or trigger it selectively depending on device sensors and document requirements.

KEY FEATURES

Securely extract identity information from NFC-enabled devices

Leverage smartphone Near Field Communication (NFC) hardware to query secure cryptographic public keys and verify tamper-resistant e-passports instantly in any flow.

Passports are easy to forge. With NFC technology, you don't need to rely on visual details - instead, the information comes from the RFID chip, with additional PKI validation available.

Deep Technical Note: NFC chip data is digitally signed by the issuing government using state-level cryptography. Any attempt to modify the name, date of birth, or photo on the passport breaks this signature, making tampered or cloned IDs instantly detectable.

USE CASES

How teams can use NFC verification

Maximize trust thresholds and prevent sophisticated synthetic identity fraud across major user lifecycle milestones.

KYC compliance

Allow individuals in the EU and US to submit their passports via NFC as a part of your KYC flow, complying with stringent eIDAS levels and financial crime guidelines.

Fraud reduction

Extract key information and verify an individual's identity without running the risk of forged passports. Increase confidence by requesting a live selfie and matching it against the high-res ID portrait stored inside the chip.

Step-up verification

Add NFC as a step-up verification during risky transactions, merchant account activations, or high-value currency transfers to deter persistent bad actors and protect critical financial thresholds.
