Integrated identity solutions are incomplete without a state-of-the-art DOVID feature such as the KINEGRAM. OVD Kinegram is leading the way in integrated security elements for any type of document, be it polycarbonate-based, paper-based or using a different substrate.

Embedding KINEGRAM elements into the body of polycarbonate cards or data pages was pioneered by OVD Kinegram. Today, it is impossible to imagine the document market without DOVID-secured polycarbonate substrates. Based on such innovations, OVD Kinegram has established itself as the gold standard in protecting identities.

We are the partner of choice for integrators providing complete passport or ID card systems, offering more than 35 years of unparalleled experience in state-of-the-art security features, their design and application.

Frictionless digital identity verification is an essential service in today’s digital environment. IT solution providers are faced with the challenge of providing secure solutions that enable remote ID verification. A person’s identity must be established without a doubt and it must be ensured that a person’s ID matches the one they claim to have.

OVD Kinegram supports IT solution providers with sophisticated Software Development Kits providing a variety of digital ID verification related services and functionalities. These SDKs can easily be integrated into existing applications. Alternatively, the functionalities are also available as standalone apps:

• ID Verification: The Mobile Scan SDK
• Chip Reading: The Mobile Chip SDK
• Trusted Security: The Document Library SDK

Many transactions requiring a personal identification, such as opening a bank account or taking out an insurance, can be performed online – under condition that an identity document or a picture thereof is presented in order to verify the prospective client’s identity.

OVD Kinegram provides a series of solutions that facilitate both the remote identity check as well as the automated capturing of the clients’ identity data. Photographs of passport data pages or ID cards can be automatically digitized and the personal data of the pictured person can be returned immediately on screen.
