Finland's advanced digital identity ecosystem, supported by the Finnish Trust Network (FTN) and the VTJ population register, enables efficient non-document verification, which allows individuals to confirm their identity using their national identification number instead of physical documents. This method employs a biometric liveness check and matches the user's live selfie against a government database photo, offering a faster, more accurate, and user-friendly alternative to traditional document checks. Businesses benefit from this system by achieving quicker onboarding, improved conversion rates, enhanced fraud detection, and compliance with Finnish and EU regulations. Didit, a platform that facilitates non-document verification, offers an affordable and developer-friendly API that integrates biometric and national ID validation, enabling businesses to implement robust identity checks without financial strain. This approach leverages Finland's strong digital identity culture, making it ideal for fintech and other sectors requiring rapid and reliable identity verification.
