The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) drafts and publishes the digital identity standards that organizations use for identity proofing and authentication at different levels of risk.
ID.me’s NIST-compliant identity proofing solution can issue IAL2 / AAL2 compliant credentials to provide access to high-risk services. The verification process is simple and fast, and users only need to do it once to create their NIST-compliant credential.
Secure accounts with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) options designed to accommodate all kinds of users.
Scan driver’s licenses, state IDs, and passports, and apply machine vision and AI to verify authenticity.
ID.me uses facial recognition to match the user’s selfie to their uploaded government ID.
Verify that the SIM in the mobile device used for the verification is associated with the applicant’s identity and screen for potential indicators of fraud.
To help organizations make legacy logins conformant with NIST standards, ID.me adds additional identity proofing steps or Multi-Factor Authentication ensuring citizens can continue to use familiar logins.
Support both online self-enrollment, in-person proofing, and virtual in-person proofing. Front-line and call center staff can use the referee app to enroll users who are unable to complete the identity proofing process online.
Trained and certified call center employees called Trusted Referees guide users through the identity proofing process over video chat.
ID.me's identity broker makes it easy for organizations to consume multiple third party IDPs and strengthen legacy logins.
At the beginning of 2016, ID.me was selected by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide the login, identity proofing, and Multi-Factor Authentication for VA.gov, the VA's healthcare and benefit portal. With ID.me’s support, VA became the first federal agency to successfully issue high-assurance NIST 800-63-2 Level of Assurance 3 (LOA3) credentials at scale to citizens. ID.me also helped the VA strengthen existing logins with Multi-Factor Authentication to meet federal identity standards.
