Validate an official ID in 5 seconds, yes, it's possible!

Learn about the technology behind our official ID validation service and the benefits of implementing it.

There are few things as stressful as dealing with paperwork: a crowded office, wasted hours, the risk of forgetting a photocopy, or worse, losing your official ID before you can complete it. According to the International Development Bank (IDB), Mexico is the second-worst ranked country in Latin America, behind only Bolivia, when it comes to completing an identification and registration process in person. 

While the average time The time it takes to complete a procedure in Latin America is 5.4 hours, in Mexico it is 6.9 hours, and the situation worsens when it comes to paying taxes, insurance, and pensions, in which case it takes 8.2 hours.

The interesting thing about this case is that, although governments have implemented some mechanisms for completing online procedures, they seem to be insufficiently accessible to the entire population. Therefore, now more than ever, it is necessary to use certain digital tools that will become allies of governments and businesses.

Official identification

Do you want to open a bank account, register for Social Security, complete a procedure with the SAT (Tax Administration Service), or register as a driver on a digital platform? Before anything else, you'll need to present an official ID. When the procedure is done in person, someone compares the photo on the document to corroborate that it's indeed the same person. However, there's no guarantee of this. Just know that, according to the CONDUSEFMexico ranks second in Latin America and eighth in the world in identity theft, and more than 3,000 investigations are opened each year for the crime of document forgery.

Is the process safe?

If presenting official identification poses risks in person, the problem is even greater when conducting procedures remotely. Fortunately, technology has been developed that guarantees, in a matter of seconds, that the document submitted by the user is valid and authentic. Conducting procedures through secure and reliable digital means not only prevents crimes such as fraud and identity theft, but also helps combat corruption. 

How is it carried out?

It all starts with capturing the document to ensure it's authentic and hasn't been previously altered. Using a mobile phone or computer, our solution ensures that The capture will have the highest possible quality and more than ten tests are applied to validate the location and dimensions of the graphic or typographic aspects of the document.. With OCR (Optical character recognition) technology, information is extracted from the document, such as the CURP, to validate it against official sources such as RENAPO. Finally, we store the information collected in a digital file that is 100% secure.
