Nets Passport Reader

​By using the Nets Passport Reader app, you can identify anyone in the world by using a passport (or similar machine-readable ID document) and mobile phone. By using the Nets authentication-based signing, documents can be signed.

Enable Nets Passport Reader in your services

Nets Passport Reader is available in E-Signing through the authentication-based signing function. The authentication is performed using the E-Ident service, and the E-Signing service generates the signature and adds the signature to the document. As a customer, you only need to integrate towards E-Signing, but your customer configuration will be updated with an E-Ident setup as well.

To get started with authentication-based signing with Nets Passport Reader, please contact support and they will help you enable the service.
