What is Penneo Verify?
Penneo Verify helps you securely verify who is accessing your digital services or processes.
With Penneo Verify, your customers, employees, or business partners can authenticate themselves using a trusted national eID—such as MitID, BankID, Belgian eID, and other supported eIDs.
This means you can verify a person's identity before they access information, submit data, or continue with an important digital process.
Why use Penneo Verify?
Passwords, SMS codes, and other basic login methods don't necessarily tell you who is actually behind the screen. Penneo Verify adds an additional layer of trust by letting users authenticate with a verified digital identity.
This can help your business:
- Verify identities securely before granting access to sensitive information or services
- Reduce the risk of fraud and impersonation
- Create safer digital customer journeys
- Meet security and compliance requirements
- Support customers across different countries and eID methods
- Keep authentication and signing with one trusted provider
Penneo Verify is built on IN Groupe's E-Ident platform and gives you access to a broad catalogue of national eIDs through a single integration.
How can I use Penneo Verify?
Penneo Verify can be used wherever your business needs to know who is accessing a system or completing a digital process.
For example, you could use it to:
- Let customers securely log in to your platform
- Verify a person's identity before they submit information
- Protect access to sensitive services or customer data
- Authenticate users before they sign an important document
- Build identity verification into your existing digital workflows
Verify before you trust
Penneo Verify is particularly useful when knowing who is on the other side of a digital interaction is important.
For example:
Customer → Penneo Verify → Verified identity → Access / Submit / Sign
This allows you to build identity verification into your process rather than relying solely on passwords or other less secure authentication methods.
Which eIDs are supported?
Penneo Verify supports a broad range of European national eIDs through the E-Ident platform, including MitID (Denmark), BankID (Norway and Sweden), Belgian eID, Finnish IDs, AusweisApp (Germany) and more. The available eIDs depend on your setup and requirements.
Verify and Penneo Sign
Penneo Verify and Penneo Sign are separate products, but they can work together as part of the same customer journey.
Verify helps you establish who the user is.
Sign helps you obtain a legally valid digital signature.
Together, they can help you create a secure process from identity verification to signing.
Both products are delivered by Penneo, giving you one commercial relationship and one support team.
Security and compliance
Penneo is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) under the EU eIDAS framework. Penneo Verify is built on certified infrastructure, with authenticated sessions logged and traceable through an audit trail.
Is Penneo Verify right for my business?
Penneo Verify can be a good fit if your business needs to:
- Know who is accessing your services
- Reduce identity-related fraud
- Authenticate customers or other users securely
- Support users across multiple countries
- Add identity verification to an existing digital workflow
If you're already using Penneo for digital signing, Verify can also be a natural way to add identity verification earlier in your customer journey.
