Veriff launches NFC verification tool for biometric documents

Veriff launches a near-field communication (NFC) verification tool that enables the company to validate ePassport-compatible identity documents with both iOS and Android devices. Veriff now offers ePassports digital verification on all devices that support ePassports reading, including the most recent Android and iOS devices. The new tool speeds up the verification process, is user friendly and makes it more secure than photo-based verification. According to Kaarel Kotkas, Veriff CEO and founder, Veriff is a frontrunner in providing new secure global verification services. "As soon as the latest iOS version was released, our team prioritized adding an NFC functionality that could verify ePassports and NFC-enabled IDs."
