Jumio Broadens eID Support to 16 EU Nations

Published Date : 9/17/2025 

Jumio, a leading identity verification and KYC compliance firm, is now supporting eIDAS-compliant electronic IDs from 16 European countries, streamlining the accreditation process for its customers and enhancing their onboarding experience. 

Jumio, a U.S.-based identity verification and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance firm, has announced that it will provide support for eIDAS-compliant electronic IDs in 16 European countries on its web and mobile SDKs. This move significantly streamlines the accreditation processes for its customers, a task that most identity providers only support for a limited number of countries, often requiring lengthy and cumbersome accreditation processes.

By enabling customers to accept eIDs and digital wallets without needing to complete the accreditation process themselves, Jumio is providing them with fast, compliant onboarding based on official government identity data. According to Philipp Pointner, Jumio’s chief of digital identity, this reduces fraud risk, improves conversion rates, and positions businesses as adopters of trusted national eID programs.

The announcement comes as the European Union prepares for the introduction of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. By 2027, many regulated businesses will be required to accept digital wallets, making Jumio’s expanded support a timely and strategic move.

In addition to verifying IDs, Jumio also confirms that the person matches the credential through biometrics, historical verifications, and fraud intelligence. This comprehensive approach ensures a robust and secure onboarding process.

Earlier this year, Jumio introduced a new feature that analyzes the fraud risk of transactions using data such as identity attributes and behavior. In June, the company also released its most advanced liveness detection solution to date, called Jumio Liveness Premium, further enhancing its capabilities in combating deepfakes and biometric injection attacks.

Jumio’s expanded support for eIDs and digital wallets is a significant step forward in the company’s mission to provide secure and efficient identity verification solutions. As the use of digital identities continues to grow, Jumio’s commitment to innovation and compliance will be crucial in helping businesses navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.
