What Svipe iD is

Svipe iD helps organizations verify customers, members, and employees using digital identity documents. Its mobile app reads data from a supported document’s NFC chip and checks the chip cryptographically. Svipe says it supports biometric identity documents from more than 130 countries; its homepage describes coverage of 140+ countries. Supported documents include passports and some national identity and residence cards bearing the “Chip Inside” symbol; driver’s licenses are unsupported. An optional face check compares the user with the signed document photo and uses AI liveness detection. Organizations connect services to Svipe’s backend through OpenID Connect (OIDC), and application registration in the developer portal is free. Documented integrations include WordPress, Matrix, Nextcloud, Mattermost, and Keycloak. After identity verification, the app can support passwordless login, step-up authentication, and account recovery. It can also hold third-party credentials, such as medical certificates or access authorizations, linked to a user’s identity. Users approve data sharing, and document data is stored encrypted on their phone; personal document data is erased from Svipe’s servers within 24 hours of registration.
