Identification with IDnow. A piece of cake.
Identification with IDnow is a simple, quick and secure process. All you need is a smartphone or computer, internet and your ID. Here are some handy tips for you.
Morning or evening
Avoid peak hours: use IDnow from 08:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. or from 7:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.. These are usually quiet times and your verification should start straight away without any waiting time. Before and after that, even IDnow deserves a pause.
IDnow via smartphone
Start the sign-up on desktop and switch to your smartphone for verification with a better camera. Simply load the Kontist app and log in. The verification will start automatically.
Have everything in place
A little preparation doesn't hurt. Have your ID or passport ready before verification begins. And of course it helps if you have your date of birth in mind.
Alone in a quiet room
A quiet room helps to get the verification done in no time as background noise can be a killer. Of course you can also do it in a cafe as long as it is not noisy as hell.
Free and even surface
IDnow needs an image of the front and back of your ID. Therefore, an even surface like a table is perfect. Hover your smartphone over your ID for IDnow to take pictures.
Good internet connection
Make sure you are well connected. It doesn't always have to be WiFi, sometimes LTE is even faster. IDnow checks your bandwidth first and will tell you, if you're good to go.
