It is designed to allow an organisation’s customers to submit proof of their identity as part of an account opening or other process by simply taking a picture of their driver license, passport or national identity card using their smartphone or other mobile device.

Mobile ID then extracts and validates the business critical content and submits it to Kofax’s TotalAgility platform, or the organization’s other enterprise applications for further processing. Kofax Mobile ID extracts and validates the business critical content from most international driver licenses, passports and national identity cards.
