Biometric Authentication for the UK Home Office

The award recognized iProov’s Genuine Presence Assurance work for the UK Home Office and the EU Settlement Status application process (described here recently in Has the UK Just Quietly Seen One of the Most Successful Government IT Projects Ever?)

Recent data on the project shows that:

• More than 3.1 million applications have been successfully concluded
• A high percentage of applicants completed their application in under 10 minutes, with a high level of identity assurance
• Over 2,300 different makes and models of Android and iOS devices have been used to complete the identity verification process
• Peaks of 25,000-30,000 applications per day have been successfully managed
• 79% of applicants indicated that proving their identity through the app was either “very easy” or “fairly easy”

In addition to the Home Office, iProov technology is being used by a growing number of governments, financial institutions, identity service providers and other businesses looking for the most secure, usable remote authentication technology:

• NHS for NHS login remote user verification
• Department of Homeland Security for remote border management
• Rabobank for online customer onboarding
• SK ID for the Estonian digital identity program

2020 has also seen a number of other milestone achievements at iProov:

• Expansion to the US with the opening of the iProov Maryland office
• Launch of iProov for Kiosk
• Launch of iProov Web

We’d like to thank the organizers of the SC Awards for staging such a great online show – we might not have got the champagne in a big hotel ballroom but we can confirm that the excitement of winning is just as good online!
