What makes eID-Me different?

How does eID-Me work?

eID-Me integrates into your web or mobile application as a login dialog box (see Screenshot 1).

This login dialog presents users with two options:
  1. Enter your eID (for existing eID-Me users)
  2. Don't have an eID (for new users)

Registering for an eID in the eID-Me mobile app


A new user taps the Don't have an eID link to reveal download links for the eID-Me mobile app on the Apple and Google app stores.

In the eID-Me app, the user registers for an eID with the following steps:
  1. Take a selfie (face scan) with liveness detection (Screenshot 2).
  2. Scan identity documents (Screenshot 2).
  3. Submit collected evidence for identity verification.

The eID-Me registration server performs identity proofing to verify the evidence, including a biometric face comparison against scanned document portrait photos.

Once verified, a digital identity is issued to a secure digital wallet in the user's eID-Me mobile app (Screenshot 3). This digital identity contains the following:
  • Identity information (mDL, ePassport, eHealth Card)
  • Identity Assurance Level
  • eID (an eID-Me anonymous identifier)

Using an eID to share identity information


The user enters their eID in your application's eID-Me login dialog. This sends an ID request as a push notification to the user's mobile phone (Screenshot 4).

The ID request shows:
  • The name of the organization making the request
  • What identity information is being requested
  • A confirmation code
  • Approve and Decline buttons

The user reviews the request, taps the confirmation code, and taps Approve to send the requested identity information to your organization's Azure AD B2C system.
