BlinkID
The BlinkID integration allows you to scan and to extract data from a user's ID. This helps verify a user's identity, while keeping their sensitive information secure. Advantages of this integration include:
Supporting a wide range of identity documents from around the world, from passports and travel visas to driver licenses and residence permits.
Processing done entirely on-device, with no Internet or server connection needed. This ensures that the user's sensitive information does not leave the app.
Note
The integration described in this article may not be implemented in your environment or enabled for all your clients. Contact your admin for assistance.
