What is NFC?

How does it work? image

How it works

  • After completing the order, your client is sent a link via email or SMS
    to download the YOTI app, which they can open on any compatible smartphone.
  • Your client is guided through document uploading, while AI-enabled and
    expert-led authenticity checks are carried out.
  • A quick selfie on the smartphone camera will be compared against the
    ID document, and can spot marks, fakes, or impersonations.
  • The app will scan the ePassport chip using near-field communication
    (NFC) technology, and match against the data provided.

  • Address verification by TransUnion
  • Always keep track of your client’s progress and be notified when checks are complete.

Near-Field Communication Explained

Near-field communication (NFC) technology is becoming more
commonplace each day, from contactless payments or sharing
content via smartphones. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
is read from small chips, which contain identical information to the
document, but behind layers of encryption, making modification
and manipulation impossible.

NFC is also found in passports and other government-issued
ID documents, for secure identity verification. Combined with
biometric smartphone sensors, NFC technology can assist with
matching live selfies to photo ID alongside PII checks, providing an
extra layer of security, as well as speeding up client onboarding.
