IDnow, a leading identity verification platform provider in Europe, announced that several of its flagship products had achieved ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 certification, the technical standard widely considered the 'compliance benchmark' for remote identity verification in Europe.

Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 was selected by the European Commission as the standard for AML-compliant identity verification for qualified trust services, and the upcoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR).

The certification was awarded following rigorous testing by the accredited conformity assessment body, QSCert.

Obtaining certification in ETSI 119 461 v2.1.1 establishes IDnow as one of the first providers in Europe to fulfill the stringent biometric and security standards necessary for compliant identity verification in line with evolving European regulations, such as eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6.
