IDnow Sets New Standard as One of Europe’s First Identity Verification Providers to Meet Latest eIDAS 2.0 Regulations
IDnow, a leading identity verification platform provider in Europe, today announced that several of its flagship products had achieved ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 certification, the technical standard widely considered the ‘compliance benchmark’ for remote identity verification in Europe.
Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 was selected by the European Commission as the standard for AML-compliant identity verification for qualified trust services, and the upcoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR).
The certification was awarded following rigorous testing by the accredited conformity assessment body, QSCert.
Obtaining certification in ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 establishes IDnow as one of the first providers in Europe to fulfill the stringent biometric and security standards necessary for compliant identity verification in line with evolving European regulations, such as eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6.
Why this matters for European businesses
With rising threats from deepfakes and increasingly sophisticated types of online fraud, especially in the finance, mobility, and telecom sectors, the ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 standard outlines a comprehensive European framework for compliant identity verification services, including requirements for presentation attack detection, injection attack detection, and biometric-integrity assurance.
“This milestone is not only a technical and security achievement; it is a practical commitment to advancing digital onboarding in the most regulated industries. We’re proud to lead the way in enabling compliant, secure, and user-friendly identity verification across all major digital channels,” said Armin Berghaus, Founder and Managing Director at IDnow.
