ID Mission

VENDOR CASE STUDY

IDmission delivers biometric-based ID and age verification via selfie matching, document scans and fallback vouching. Offers a global, mobile-first SDK with inclusive options for users lacking traditional identity documents.

Strengths

Summary of Results

High TRL, inclusive and efficient. AI-driven verification performed well, but privacy documentation lacked detail. Streamlined onboarding and global applicability are strong points. Could enhance trust through clearer policy articulation on data use.

Lab & school testing showed high false positives for underage users across all gates and MAE above 4.5years, indicating low age estimation precision. False negatives were low for eligible users. While the vendor assessed their system at TRL 9, independent evaluation concluded it to be at TRL 8, suggesting further validation is needed for full commercial deployment.

Privacy Policy

In addition to the structured Practice Statements, the Trial also reviewed publicly available Privacy Policies for all participating providers. This formed a key part of the Trial’s ethical due diligence and helped assess how well declared practices aligned with actual documentation and observed system behaviour.

Practice Statement

Practice Statements are formal documents submitted by participating providers, outlining how their systems function and how they claim to meet specific expectations under international and domestic standards. They offer providers an opportunity to articulate their system’s design in their own words — similar to a ‘statement of practice’ or ‘system disclosure’ used in certification and compliance contexts.

Interview

As part of the Trial’s commitment to transparency and accuracy, the team prepared a written summary of each vendor interview, capturing key points regarding system design, functionality and implementation claims. These summaries were shared with participants for review, allowing them to check, verify and suggest corrections where necessary.

Test Report

Individual Vendor Test Reports were developed for each participating provider. These reports formally document the results of the functional, usability and security evaluations carried out during the Trial and are intended to support public understanding, regulatory scrutiny and future conformity assessment or certification processes.
