French identity card
IDify analyzes the French national identity card
The French national identity card currently in circulation comes in 2 different formats: a first issued in 2003 and a second issued in 2021. Datakeen can help you authenticate these cards and verify the identity of their holders.
Identity information extraction
Retrieve all the information on your French identity card: Last name, First name, Date of birth, City of birth, Document number, Expiry date, MRZ band, etc.
Visual checks on identity cards
Datakeen checks for the presence of control points specific to the CNI 2003 or 2021. These include color fading, wavelets, stamps and signatures present (or absent).
Controlling the public domain
To reinforce our anti-fraud efforts, we check whether the submitted ID card is in the public domain. In this way, potentially fraudulent ID cards are eliminated.
Passport
Authenticity checks on French passports
A passport is a state-issued travel document. It takes a regulated format so that it can be verified by other states. Our tool uses the checkpoints associated with passports to verify authenticity and detect attempted fraud.
Identity information collected
The textual information on the ePassport is checked and cross-checked for authenticity. We also check the MRZ or ZLA (Machine Readable Zone) strip and verify its conformity.
Other checks carried out
IDify also uses external databases and information to fine-tune fraud detection. Our knowledge base is also put to good use. We alert you when a fraudulent passport or one issued by an unreliable state is submitted.
Checked control points
Benefit from an in-depth check of the control points present on the biometric passport. Datakeen looks for any anomalies indicating possible tampering: waves, stamps, initials, specific symbols, etc.
Residence permit
Accept the deposit of French residence permits
Among the library of identity documents accepted by IDify is the residence permit. With over 3.5 million people holding a residence permit (5% of the French population), this document is essential to providing a pleasant experience for every customer.
What is a residence permit?
The residence permit allows the holder to reside in France for a fixed period of more than 3 months. This period can range from 1 to 10 years. The residence permit can be renewed when it expires.
2 models of residence permit
There are currently 2 models of residence permit in circulation: one dating from 2015 and the other from 2021. Each edition has its own characteristics and specific control points. Datakeen identifies the model to authenticate the document.
Driver's license
Driver's license for identity verification
Originally issued as a leaflet, the driving license now takes the form of a credit card. The French driving license is one of the most falsified documents, due to its longevity. Datakeen ensures the validity of the checkpoints used to authenticate the document.
Control elements
Among the control points checked on the driver's license are elements similar to those on the identity card. These include the following visual elements : Raised symbols, optically variable ink, font, RF symbol, etc.
Extraction of personal data
The French driver's license contains the main elements relating to the identity of its holder. Like an identity card, it can record a person's surname, first name and date of birth.
Matching the identity selfie
The French driver's license includes a passport photo of the holder. IDify compares this photo to a selfie taken at the time of identity verification. In this way, your customer's digital identity can be securely checked.
