Video-Ident is an online identification procedure that complies with the Money Laundering Act (GwG). This involves starting a video chat with an expert who verifies your identity and address using a valid, official identification document.

Steps:
The IDnow identification specialists will usually carry out the verification in just a few minutes. If there are longer waiting times in the queue, this is usually due to the fact that they receive a large number of ID requests at the same time.
Experience shows that waiting times are shorter on weekdays between 8:00 and 10:00 or in the evening between 22:00 and 23:30.
IDnow supports a variety of identification documents (such as passports or ID cards) according to the common ICAO standard - currently more than 150 identification documents from over 50 countries.
