Data Security

IDnow Employees

Our identity experts are in direct contact with your end customers. They verify personal information, identity documents and process the recordings. That’s why we select our identity experts with the utmost care.

Our experts initially undergo an application process consisting of several stages and they must submit their police clearance certificate, as well as their Schufa credit report. They then receive intensive training from our trainers. In doing so, we use a training concept that we devised jointly with the State Criminal Police Office of Hessen. We hold training courses not only at the start, but regularly and on special occasions.
