Consider that to verify these ID's they would need bi-lateral agreements AND api access to each issuing authority for the cards to lookup up the card to verify it against the "real" data. Unlikely they have achieved that given governments are not in the business of offering this service to the market these days. The question becomes, who takes on the liability for the identity asserted by the user who has presented the card? They could compare it to all previous images of the card, but again, was that original? All eID solutions have a bootstrapping problem related to the "fons honoram" that creates the legitimate "original." The use cases for ID are all law enforcement related, and the integrity of these processes does not withstand even basic scrutiny. What is the problem they need to solve? Limited liability broker for proof of legal identity over a communications channel. Here are the things that matter: - "liability" - "broker" - "proof" - "legal" - "identity" Here is what other companies in that space do: "ah takez teh picturez of teh cardz and ah sendz to tehm." This company may have solved these other problems. If they have, I would be yelling it from the rooftops because the technology doesn't matter, they would literally have been given the right to print money.
