TRUSTDOCK Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takahiro Chiba) has launched the 'IC Chip Confirmation Plan' within its eKYC (online identity verification) service 'TRUSTDOCK,' allowing identity verification to be completed solely by reading an IC chip.
This plan enables the construction of a simple identity verification flow that significantly reduces the user burden by eliminating the need for selfie photography or entering Public Personal Authentication (JPKI) passwords.
### Background and Objectives
Traditional online identity verification processes often required multiple steps, such as inputting personal information, taking selfies, and entering JPKI passwords, which posed a significant burden on users and led to drop-offs. In particular, forgotten passwords for JPKI and the effort required for selfies have been challenges causing opportunity loss for businesses. Furthermore, there were cases difficult to handle with conventional methods, such as identity verification using My Number cards for minors without facial photos.
By utilizing information within the IC chip and incorporating a user-driven confirmation process, TRUSTDOCK has realized a simple and practical identity verification flow. This allows for reduced drop-off rates and adaptation to new use cases.
### What is the 'IC Chip Confirmation Plan'?
The 'IC Chip Confirmation Plan' performs identity verification by displaying information read from the ID card's IC chip on the screen and having the user confirm the details themselves. This eliminates the need for selfies and JPKI passwords, providing a smoother experience. It also accommodates cases like minors' My Number cards without photos.
Please note that since this plan does not involve selfie comparison, it does not independently comply with identity verification methods based on business laws such as the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds. However, it can be utilized flexibly depending on the application.
Supported ID Cards: My Number Card / Driver's License / Residence Card / Special Permanent Resident Certificate
### Use Cases
- Services targeting minors (e.g., financial services for juniors, member registration)
- Services where simplicity of user experience is prioritized
- Identity verification in services not subject to specific business laws
- Identity verification flows combined with mail confirmation, etc.
