E-Seek and Credence ID, both leaders in identity verification solutions, have announced the launch of the VeriCHECK M500+, the world’s first all-in-one device designed to authenticate both digital and physical identification documents. This groundbreaking device addresses the growing demand for seamless ID verification, as mobile credentials like digital IDs gain popularity alongside traditional physical identification methods.
A Hybrid Approach to ID Verification
The VeriCHECK M500+ combines E-Seek’s proven physical credential reader, which is already used by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in more than 220 U.S. airports, with Credence ID’s Tap2iD digital verification platform. This combination provides a secure method to verify digital IDs, such as mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs), utilizing NFC and QR code technologies. The device complies with the latest ISO standards for mobile IDs (mDL/mID) and is compatible with popular digital wallets, including Apple Wallet and Google Pay, making it highly flexible for both government and commercial use.
Plug-and-Play for Seamless Integration
The VeriCHECK M500+ is designed to be easy to use, offering plug-and-play functionality that works both online and offline. After the initial online setup, the device can operate independently, displaying instant verification results directly on its screen. When connected online, additional features like remote management allow administrators to monitor, update, and configure the device from a smartphone or web browser, providing convenience and control from anywhere.
Versatility Across Industries
This versatile device caters to a wide range of sectors, including banking, travel, hospitality, and retail. It simplifies the process of verifying IDs for secure transactions, such as age-restricted services or identity authentication for travel. With the ability to handle both physical and digital IDs on a single platform, the VeriCHECK M500+ is set to revolutionize how businesses and governments handle identity verification.
An Evolution in ID Technology
Corinna Schindler, Managing Director of E-Seek and Global Vice President at Veridos, expressed her excitement about the collaboration, saying, “Our goal is to provide superior identity verification products. This partnership with Credence ID allows us to offer the best solutions for both physical and mobile verification, addressing current needs while preparing for future advancements.”
Bruce Hanson, President and CEO of Credence ID, also emphasized the innovation behind the VeriCHECK M500+, stating, “We’re thrilled to introduce a hybrid solution that can verify both physical and digital IDs on a single platform. Customers are looking for the same convenience with digital IDs as they have with physical cards, and this ‘all-in-one’ verifier makes that a reality.”
Conclusion
The VeriCHECK M500+ represents the next step in the evolution of ID verification technology. By seamlessly integrating both digital and physical credential verification into one powerful device, it offers businesses and governments a versatile, future-proof solution for secure identity verification.
