Cross-border ID matching for the Nordic-Baltic Region

Kantega ID

NOBID ID matching utilises the eIDAS framework to verify the match between a user’s home country identity and any other identity they might have abroad. This gives users safe and effective access to digital services abroad, as well as helping service providers recognise returning users. ID matching is essential for the secure and efficient use of digital identity across borders.
