Before adopting an IDV system, it’s imperative to conduct thorough testing, especially for large-scale businesses. However, it is nearly impossible to obtain a reliable set of IDs with real NFC chips (as they contain sensitive personal data) to test-drive the verification process.
Besides, it’s not that easy to test both positive and negative verification scenarios without representative ID sampling. Regula’s unique service, Regula NFC TestKit, effectively addresses these issues.
Robust cross-checking
Depending on the particular company’s business needs and market goals, Regula creates a test set of identity documents with NFC chips which are personalised with the data of fictitious identities or those provided by the customer.
Apart from the chip, a visual zone and a machine-readable zone (MRZ) can also be generated to enable robust cross-checking and system testing.
IDV solution
They are backed up with corresponding templates in a special database version
These test IDs are simplified images (with special marks to show that they are not full replicas) of the required pages of the documents the company intends to verify.
They are backed up with corresponding templates in a special database version so that the IDV solution can recognise them properly.
NFC TestKit service
By choosing Regula NFC TestKit service, enterprises can benefit from:
- Shorter time to market: Checking and fine-tuning the IDV process with the help of test documents eliminates the necessity of undergoing an early adoption period during which a company could face friction.
- Enhanced IDV solution trial and early problem identification: Regula NFC TestKit service provides the most complete representation of identity documents with multiple data fields. That means any organisation can test-drive the complete remote onboarding procedure to address potential issues or vulnerabilities.
- Flexibility and customisation: Regula’s service is tailored to the specific needs of any given organisation. It is possible to create an NFC-chip-based document sample of any type from any country to test the most likely customer onboarding scenarios.
- Maximum security assurance: Using NFC chips and replicating the data in the MRZ and visual zone ensures that IDV process testing mimics real-life scenarios to get ready to handle customers’ data securely.
Personalised NFC chips
Regula leverages its unique competencies in forensic examination, as well as IDV software
To enable this service, Regula leverages its unique competencies in forensic examination, as well as IDV software and hardware development.
The company personalises NFC chips with fictitious persons’ data, which is recorded with the help of Regula’s document readers.
Passive authentication
Importantly, Regula generates all necessary certificate chains for every country in the list, signs the data using these certificates, and provides them to the customer for performing passive authentication.
This approach fully imitates the scenario with real NFC chips in real IDs, which allows businesses to take advantage of lifelike document verification when testing their IDV systems.
ID template database
This database makes it possible to imitate nearly any identity document for testing purposes
Regula NFC TestKit is equipped with this functionality because it is backed by the world’s most comprehensive identity document template database, which is exclusively owned and maintained by Regula.
With more than 13,000 templates of IDs from 247 countries and territories, this database makes it possible to imitate nearly any identity document for testing purposes. Due to this asset, Regula can cover any geography a business may be interested in.
Efficiency testing
“Businesses currently strive to find suitable solutions to independently test the remote onboarding process of electronic documents, and until now, there have been no offerings on the market to address this gap,” says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
"With our new service for complete imitation of real IDs, we enable organisations to conduct highly efficient testing to identify and prevent any potential issues before the launch of their IDV systems."
