Expanding In-Person Identity Verification System Features in Anticipation of Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds Amendment

Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) and DNP ID System Co., Ltd. (IDS) will expand the identity verification functions of the 'ID Verification System PRO,' which supports operations requiring in-person identity verification, and will begin providing a successor product in October 2026. In anticipation of the amendment to the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds (APTCP) scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2027, the company will strengthen support for identity verification using IC chips in My Number cards, driver's licenses, and residence cards, primarily for financial institutions. Regarding the background of development, with the amendment of the APTCP coming into effect in April 2027, financial institutions will shift to identity verification based on the use of IC chips in My Number cards and driver's licenses. This amendment aims to prevent unauthorized use through forgery of identification documents, and identity verification in in-person transactions will require confirmation using IC chip information from My Number cards, driver's licenses, etc. In preparation for this amendment, financial institutions are moving to review their identity verification environment and coordination with existing systems. DNP is now expanding the functions of the 'ID Verification System PRO,' which has a cumulative installation record of over 2,000 units, to support compliance with the APTCP amendment and improve the efficiency of in-person operations at financial institutions. Key features include stricter in-person identity verification based on IC chip utilization, a flexible system configuration that can be linked with existing systems, and card readers that can be selected according to the operational scene. By reading IC chip information from My Number cards, driver's licenses, residence cards, etc., and combining it with information on the card face, the authenticity of identity verification documents can be confirmed. This improves the safety of in-person transactions, including those in the financial industry. In addition, it is scheduled to support the Japanese Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) in fiscal year 2027. For coordination with existing systems, APIs and SDKs will be provided to allow flexible integration into counter terminals and business systems. Depending on the operational scene, two types of card readers can be selected: a stationary 'scanner-equipped model' for storefronts and a mobile 'IC reader-only model' for external business. DNP and IDS aim to provide the successor product of 'ID Verification System PRO,' mainly to financial institutions, and achieve a cumulative sales of 1 billion yen by fiscal year 2030.
