What Digidentity does

Digidentity B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) founded in 2008 that delivers digital identity proofing, authentication, KYC/KYB compliance, and qualified electronic signature services to governments, financial institutions, insurers, and other regulated enterprises. The platform is built around three core technology pillars: NFC chip reading of passports and ID documents for unattended remote identification, biometric liveness detection and face matching to bind the live person to their credential, and cloud-based PKI infrastructure that issues eIDAS-compliant Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) and eSeals without hardware tokens. Supporting products include the Digidentity Wallet for reusable identity credentials, Verifiable Credentials with selective disclosure, an EUDI Wallet Verifier, Right to Work checks for UK employers, the SERMI trust centre for automotive technician access, and mobile SDKs (iOS and Android) plus an API for developer integration.

The company operates under multiple regulatory licences: QTSP under eIDAS at Substantial and High assurance levels, UK DIATF as an Identity Service Provider, and the Adobe Approved Trust List. It is also a founding member of the Cloud Signature Consortium. Its customer base spans Dutch tier-1 banks (ABN AMRO, ING, Rabobank), Allianz, DocuSign (integration partner), the Municipality of Rotterdam, eHerkenning for Dutch government services, and GOV.UK Verify, with reported cumulative scale of 25M+ identities verified and 250K+ corporate customers. Headcount is 51-100 employees based in The Hague.

Digidentity's revenue model is predominantly subscription-based: annual unlimited QES subscriptions, 1-3 year eSeal subscriptions, recurring KYC/KYB and SERMI services, and SDK/API licensing for enterprise integration. Pricing for enterprise contracts is quote-based, while consumer QES has published single-use and annual tiers. Recent strategic initiatives include the 2026 PortGuard federated data space launch for European critical infrastructure (with DronePort Rotterdam and Avanade), the 2026 SERMI UK Trust Centre role, and the 2025 Australia MVIS-compliant automotive launch with Solera Autodata, signalling active geographic and vertical expansion.
