Ident Lite (Advanced, Basic)

Ident Lite provides streamlined identity verification for one-time interactions without creating a persistent user profile. This lightweight workflow supports Basic eID and Enhanced eID verification levels through the mobile SDK and and Enhanced eID through WebSDK, delivering rapid identity confirmation for transient transactions where ongoing user relationships are not required.

This workflow is designed for organizations that need to verify user identity for specific transactions or interactions without the overhead of full user onboarding—such as age verification, one-time service access, guest checkouts, or temporary credential issuance. Users complete the verification process once for the immediate purpose, and no permanent account or certificate infrastructure is maintained.

How it works:

The Ident Lite workflow follows these phases:

1. Initiate Verification: Application requests one-time identification through mobile SDK or WebSDK, specifying the required verification level and data fields
2. User Verification: User completes identity verification by scanning their ID document and, for Enhanced eID, performing face recognition matching
3. Status Check: Application polls or receives callback notification about verification completion and validation status
4. Data Retrieval: Upon successful verification, application downloads the verified identity data (name, date of birth, document details, etc.) for immediate use

Key characteristics:

• Transient verification: No persistent profile or user account is created—identity data is verified for immediate use
• Flexible assurance levels: Choose between Basic eID (document scan) or Enhanced eID (document scan + face recognition)
• Minimal friction: Users don't need to create accounts, manage passwords, or install apps for WebSDK implementations
• Targeted data collection: Request only the specific identity attributes needed for your use case
• Time-bounded: Verification results are available for a limited period, suitable for one-time transactions
• Multi-channel support: Available through mobile SDK integration or browser-based WebSDK

This approach is ideal for organizations requiring quick identity verification for occasional transactions, compliance checks, or access control scenarios where the user relationship is temporary or infrequent, and the cost of full user registration cannot be justified.
