Credential Verification

In today’s modern world, a government-issued credential is essential to help establish the identity of an individual – whether it be a driver’s license, passport, or smartcard. Increasingly, smartcard credentials such as the PIV, TWIC or CAC card contain additional biometric and biographic information embedded within them so that the identity of a person can be double-validated.

The MaxID line of handheld multi-modal devices are well suited for reading, verifying and validating government-issued credentials whether they be passports, ePassports, driver’s licenses, PIV, CAC, FRAC or TWIC cards, Seafarer’s ID or other forms of identity.

   
The iDL series of handheld devices from MaxID are designed to be able to easily read government-issued credentials. They come equipped with the right readers for the task – magswipe, 1D and 2D barcode, contactless and contact smartcard reading as well as OCR and MRZ reading capability.

More importantly, MaxID has worked closely with third party software vendors such as CoreStreet, 3M, and Codebench to make sure their software runs seamlessly on the iDL series of products.

Reading the contents of the credential are a good starting point, but validating that credential is essential as well. This means making sure the issued credential has not been revoked and is not sitting on an exception or hotlist. MaxID Corp is working with vendors such as CoreStreet and Axway to provide both offline and online credential validation and revocation.

In a world where validating identity is increasingly important, the iDL series from MaxID plays a meaningful role.
