Every European identity verification tool reviewed
Tallinn, Estonia
Essential $0.80 per verification ($49 monthly minimum) / Plus $1.39 per verification ($99 minimum) / Premium $1.89 per verification ($209 minimum), as shown on the pricing page
Free 15-day trial of the Premium plan, no credit card needed
Best for: Teams that want per-check prices published up front
Veriff is the one provider in this directory that publishes what a check costs. Its pricing page lists three tiers: Essential at $0.80 per verification with a $49 monthly minimum, Plus at $1.39 with a $99 minimum and Premium at $1.89 with a $209 minimum, described as full-auto, hybrid and hybrid respectively. A free 15-day trial of Premium needs no credit card.
The product range on the site covers identity and document verification, proof of address, database verification, age validation, AML screening, biometric authentication, liveness, age estimation and fraud tooling. The contracting company is Veriff OÜ, registry code 12932944 in the Estonian business register; the privacy notice names Veriff OÜ and a Brazilian subsidiary as controllers.
The limits are on transparency elsewhere. The privacy notice does not state where verification data is stored, prices are quoted in US dollars, and the monthly minimum rises with each tier. Compared with the other European providers here it is the easiest to evaluate without a sales call, but it is not the only option for regulated onboarding.
What Veriff does well
- Per-verification prices published
- Free 15-day trial without a card
- Broad product range beyond documents
- Registered in the Estonian commercial register
- Developer-friendly self-serve start
Where Veriff falls short
- Prices in US dollars
- Monthly minimum applies on every tier
- Storage location not stated on the pages read
- Sub-tier details only visible on the pricing page
Standout feature. It is the only provider in this directory that shows per-check prices and a self-serve trial on its own page.
Munich, Germany
Not published on the pages read; quote on request
Best for: German-regulated onboarding with eID and QES options
IDnow is a Munich-based identity platform. Its site lists identity verification, document verification, biometric authentication, KYC checks, AML screening, eID schemes, EUDI wallets and qualified electronic signatures, aimed at banking, telecom, insurance, crypto and mobility.
The imprint names IDnow GmbH at Auenstrasse 100 in Munich, commercial register HRB 283590 at the district court of Munich, VAT ID DE360162051. The privacy policy states that website hosting takes place exclusively within the EU, on AWS in Frankfurt and Paris. That statement is about the website, so check the data processing agreement for verification data itself.
No prices appeared on the pages read, and no pricing page was found, so a quote is the only route. The breadth, from automated checks to eID and signatures, is the draw for regulated buyers; teams that want to start on a self-serve plan should look at Veriff instead.
What IDnow does well
- Commercial register number and VAT ID in the imprint
- Covers verification, AML and qualified signatures
- eID and EUDI wallet support listed
- EU-only website hosting stated
- German and EU regulatory focus
Where IDnow falls short
- No published pricing
- Verification-data hosting not separately stated on the pages read
- Enterprise sales cycle
- Broad platform may be more than small teams need
Standout feature. It pairs identity verification with eID schemes and qualified signatures under one Munich-registered company.
Trondheim, Norway
Detailed pricing by identity method is available inside the free dashboard account; otherwise a personalised quote
Free developer account and API test account
Best for: Nordic and pan-European eID coverage plus verification
Signicat describes itself as the leading provider of digital identity solutions in Europe and says it has built its reputation since 2006. The product menu covers identity proofing (ID document and biometric verification, reusable identities, data verification, ongoing monitoring), authentication, trust orchestration and electronic signing.
Its contact page names the headquarters at Beddingen 16, 7042 Trondheim, Norway, with offices in Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Norway sits in the EEA but not in the EU. The pages read did not name the exact contracting entity or a register number.
Pricing depends on the identity methods used and volume discounts apply; method-level pricing sits in the dashboard behind a free account. That is more open than a pure sales form but less direct than Veriff. Its strength is eID coverage, especially in the Nordics.
What Signicat does well
- Wide set of national eID methods
- Free developer account
- Verification, authentication and signing together
- Headquarters address stated on the contact page
- Builds on a reputation the site dates to 2006
Where Signicat falls short
- Norway is outside the EU
- Contracting entity and register number not found on the pages read
- Prices behind a dashboard account
- Large platform for simple needs
Standout feature. It combines document-based verification with national eID schemes across several European countries.
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Best for: Banks and fintechs wanting modular KYC
Fourthline sells identity verification and fraud detection as modules: identity verification for onboarding, AML screening with ongoing monitoring, and remediation of existing customer files. The homepage frames it as one provider for every identity challenge, aimed at compliance teams.
The privacy statement names Fourthline B.V., registration number 58905413, at James Wattstraat 77-R, 1097 DL Amsterdam, the Netherlands, acting together with Fourthline Payments B.V. for some processing. The site states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification by EY CertifyPoint, certificate 2021-039.
Pricing is not published and the pages read do not state a hosting country. It reads as an enterprise product for regulated buyers, so smaller teams without a compliance function will find Veriff or Sumsub easier to start with.
What Fourthline does well
- Company number and address in the privacy statement
- ISO 27001:2022 certification stated
- Modular: pick verification, AML or remediation
- Focused on regulated onboarding
Where Fourthline falls short
- No published pricing
- Hosting country not stated on the pages read
- Enterprise-oriented
- Two related Dutch entities in the privacy statement
Standout feature. It splits KYC into modules, so a bank can buy remediation or AML screening without the onboarding flow.

Best for: Buyers who need verification and qualified signatures together
Namirial is a trust service provider first. Its navigation groups identity verification, eID integration and data intelligence under Onboarding, next to electronic signature, document management and a wallet gateway, wallet app and wallet studio.
The privacy policy names Namirial S.p.A. as data controller with registered office at via Caduti sul Lavoro 4, 60019 Senigallia (AN), P.IVA IT02046570426. The directory already lists it as a qualified trust service provider in Italy, Spain and France.
Identity verification is one part of a broader suite, so it fits best when you also need qualified signatures or digital certificates under eIDAS. Prices are on request, and buyers who only need a stand-alone verification API will find narrower products elsewhere.
What Namirial does well
- Verification, eID and signing in one vendor
- Qualified trust service provider
- Registered office and VAT number named in the privacy policy
- EU wallet products listed
Where Namirial falls short
- Verification is one module of a larger suite
- Pricing on request
- Less of a pure KYC specialist
- Heavier to adopt than a single API
Standout feature. It is the pick when the verified identity ends in a qualified signature from the same provider.
Berlin, Germany

Best for: Regulated German-speaking markets needing KYC and KYB
WebID Solutions positions itself on AML- and GDPR-compliant identity verification for banks, insurers, fintech, crypto, telecom, e-commerce, mobility and health. The site highlights KYC and KYB solutions, an ID fraud protection product and readiness for EU-AMLR and eIDAS 2.0.
The imprint names WebID Solutions GmbH, Unter den Linden 10, 10117 Berlin, commercial register HRB 146331 B at the district court of Berlin, VAT ID DE286059033. It lists WebID Solutions Espana, S.L. in Madrid and WebID Austria GmbH in Vienna.
No pricing and no hosting country appeared on the pages read. It is a good fit for buyers in Germany, Spain and Austria who want a local provider; international teams should compare it with the larger platforms above.
What WebID Solutions does well
- Commercial register and VAT ID in the imprint
- KYC and KYB both covered
- Local entities in Spain and Austria
- Compliance focus on EU-AMLR and eIDAS 2.0
Where WebID Solutions falls short
- No published pricing

The imprint names Nect GmbH, Grosser Burstah 21, 20457 Hamburg, commercial register HRB 146327 at the district court of Hamburg, VAT ID DE312664171. The industries listed include banking, insurance, health insurance, telecom, state lotteries, eGovernment and gaming.
Pricing and hosting are not stated on the pages read, and the site is primarily German-language. It suits German-speaking regulated buyers that want ident and signature from one company.
What Nect does well
- Commercial register and VAT ID in the imprint
- Ident and qualified signature combined
- Large wallet user base claimed on the site
- Public-sector and lottery references listed
Where Nect falls short
- No published pricing
- Hosting country not stated on the pages read
- Imprint and legal pages mainly in German
- Phone line explicitly not for support

Darmstadt, Germany

Best for: Fast AML-compliant ident with German eID
AUTHADA describes simple and secure online identification thanks to eID, digital signing, and an on-site KYC process it says takes less than half the time. Industries named are finance, telecommunications, eCommerce and gaming and gambling, with use cases such as prepaid SIM activation and casino identification.
The imprint names AUTHADA GmbH at Julius-Reiber-Str. 15A, 64293 Darmstadt, local court Darmstadt HRB 94377, VAT ID DE815570916, managing director Andreas Plies.
The approach leans on the electronic ID card, which makes it strongest for users who hold a German card. Pricing and hosting are not stated on the pages read, and broader document-based verification is not the focus.
What AUTHADA does well
- Commercial register and VAT ID in the imprint
- eID-based ident with a demo app
- Covers on-site and online KYC
- Clear industry use cases
Where AUTHADA falls short
- Strongest for eID card holders
- No published pricing
- Hosting country not stated on the pages read
- Smaller product range than the platforms above
Standout feature. It builds identification on the ID card chip rather than on photographing a document.

Sign up for free
Best for: Teams that want KYC, AML and monitoring in one platform
Sumsub bundles ID verification, liveness and deepfake detection, reusable KYC, AML screening, transaction and crypto monitoring, travel rule tooling and workflow orchestration. The pricing page starts at $1.35 per verification with a $149 monthly minimum, then $1.85 with a $299 minimum.
The privacy notice names Sum and Substance Ltd., registered in England with company number 09688671, and the site footer gives 30 St. Mary Axe, London. The group has affiliates in other jurisdictions, so check which entity signs your contract.
It is British, which is European but outside the EU, and the pages read do not state where verification data is stored. Compared with Veriff the price points are similar and the platform is broader on AML and monitoring.
What Sumsub does well
- Published starting prices
- Broad AML and monitoring scope
- Company number and address stated
- Self-serve sign-up
Where Sumsub falls short
- United Kingdom, outside the EU
- Group affiliates in other jurisdictions
- Storage location not stated on the pages read

London, United Kingdom
Not published on the pages read; quote on request
Best for: Age assurance and reusable digital ID wallets
Yoti lists identity verification, digital ID wallets, age verification, facial age estimation, eSignatures, authentication and AI services. The homepage describes it as a global leader in privacy-focused identity and age assurance.
The site footer names Yoti Ltd, 1 Aldgate, London EC3N 1RE, company number 08998951, and also lists subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, India, the US and New Zealand. The security section lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 and 27701.
Pricing was not on the pages read and no storage country was found. As a British company it is outside the EU, and with offices in several jurisdictions it matters which entity signs the contract. Age assurance is its clearest differentiator in this list.
What Yoti does well
- Strong age estimation and age verification offer
- Company number and address stated
- SOC 2 and ISO 27001/27701 listed
- Digital ID wallet option
Where Yoti falls short
- United Kingdom, outside the EU
- Subsidiaries in several jurisdictions
- No published pricing
- Storage location not stated on the pages read
Standout feature. Facial age estimation is a headline product next to ID checks and a reusable digital ID wallet.
