HomeProductsUnified Pseudo-ID
Global Digital Identity

Three passports. Two ID cards. One person. One identity.

People hold multiple documents — dual citizenships, renewed passports, national ID cards from different countries. Today, each document creates a separate identity on every platform. Lose one passport, lose access. Use a different one, become a "new user." Unified Pseudo-ID links all documents into one cryptographic identity — controlled by the user.

For: Banking & financial services · Global platforms · Compliance teams · Any service where users hold multiple identity documents.

The real-world problem: identity fragments break everything

300M+ people worldwide hold dual or multiple citizenships. Millions more have renewed passports, expired documents, and national IDs from different countries. Every platform that verifies identity creates a new "person" per document — fragmenting the user's digital life across incompatible silos.

🏦

Banking lockout

You verified with passport A. It expires or gets lost. You have passport B (different country). The bank can't link you — you're locked out of your own accounts.

🔄

Repeated KYC

New document? New verification. New country, new passport, start from scratch. €1,500–3,000 per KYC onboarding — multiplied by every document change.

🕵️

AML blind spot

Criminals exploit multiple passports to open accounts under different "identities." Banks can't link them. Unified Pseudo-ID solves this — for honest users and for compliance.

Why Unified Pseudo-ID
🔗

Cryptographic linking of all documents

Turkish passport + German passport + expired Turkish passport + national ID card — all cryptographically linked to one persistent identity. Add documents over time. Remove revoked ones.

🛡️

Resilient: lose a document, keep your identity

If one passport expires or is lost, the unified identity persists through the remaining linked documents. No lockout. No re-verification. Continuity by design.

👤

User-controlled: the user decides what to link

Linking is voluntary and user-initiated. The user scans each document via the IdentiGate app and confirms the link. Nobody can link documents without the user's explicit consent and biometric confirmation.

🎭

Pseudonymous: platform sees one ID, not the documents

Your platform receives a single, stable pseudonymous identifier — not the underlying passport numbers. The user is always the same "person" regardless of which document they used to authenticate.

🕵️

Anti-fraud: one person can't be two users

Biometric face match across all linked documents ensures the same physical person. This prevents multi-accounting, identity fragmentation exploits, and AML evasion through document rotation.

🌍

Works across 179 countries

Link passports from any ICAO 9303-compliant country. Turkish + German + Moroccan + Brazilian — all in one identity. No limit on number of linked documents.

How it works

Link documents. Prove you're one person. Stay one person forever.

1

Create primary identity

User verifies their first passport via the IdentiGate app — NFC scan, face match, split-key creation. This becomes the primary anchor of the unified identity.

2

Link additional documents

User scans additional passports or ID cards. For each, IdentiGate reads the NFC chip and runs a biometric face match against the primary identity. Same face = same person = linked.

3

One Pseudo-ID issued

A single, stable pseudonymous identifier is generated — cryptographically bound to all linked documents. Your platform always sees the same user, regardless of which document they authenticate with.

4

Resilient forever ✓

Passport expires? Scan the new one and link it. Lost a document? The identity persists through the others. Add or remove documents over time — the Pseudo-ID stays stable.

The key insight: biometric face match across documents proves it's the same physical person. Cryptographic linking makes it one digital identity. The user controls every step.
What makes this different

No other system links multiple passports into one reusable identity

🏦

The banking lockout — solved

A dual citizen verifies with their Turkish passport at a bank. Two years later, the passport expires. They try to access their account with their German passport. The bank's system sees a "new person" — account locked, re-verification required, weeks of back-and-forth.

With Unified Pseudo-ID, both passports are linked to the same identity. The bank always sees the same Pseudo-ID. Passport change = seamless. No lockout. No re-KYC.

Without Pseudo-ID
🇹🇷 Passport A → Account opened ✓
🇹🇷 Passport A expires ⚠️
🇩🇪 Passport B → "Who are you?" ✗ Locked
With Pseudo-ID
🇹🇷 + 🇩🇪 → Pseudo-ID: IG-7f3a... ✓ Always the same
Passport A expires → authenticate with B → still IG-7f3a ✓
🕵️

Anti-fraud and AML: the same coin, flipped

Criminals exploit multiple passports to open separate accounts under different "identities" — fragmenting their financial footprint to evade AML detection. Banks can't link accounts opened under different documents.

Unified Pseudo-ID solves both sides: honest dual citizens get seamless access, while platforms can detect that the same biometric person is trying to create multiple "identities." One person = one Pseudo-ID. Period.

For honest users

Seamless access across all documents. No lockout. No repeated KYC. Identity follows the person, not the paper.

For compliance teams

Detect multi-accounting. Link fragmented profiles. Prevent AML evasion through document rotation. One biometric person = one identity = one risk profile.

For your platform

One user. One ID. Regardless of document.

🔑

Stable identifier

Your platform receives one Pseudo-ID per user — always the same, regardless of which document they authenticate with. Your database stays clean.

🚫

Deduplication built in

Same biometric person tries to create a second account with a different passport? Detected automatically. One person = one Pseudo-ID. Multi-accounting blocked.

💰

Eliminate re-KYC costs

Passport renewal or document change no longer triggers full re-verification. The Pseudo-ID persists. Your compliance team saves €1,500+ per affected user.

Use cases

Who needs Unified Pseudo-ID

🏦

Banking & fintech

Customers with dual citizenship, expats, digital nomads — all need seamless account access regardless of which document they use. Pseudo-ID prevents lockout and reduces re-KYC.

🚛

Cross-border logistics

A Turkish driver with dual DE citizenship uses different passports at different border crossings. Pseudo-ID ensures the eCMR system always sees the same verified driver.

🎰

Gaming & compliance

Prevent multi-accounting where one person creates multiple gaming accounts with different passports. Pseudo-ID ensures: one biometric person = one account. Self-exclusion lists work across all documents.

Privacy & compliance

User-controlled. GDPR compliant. AML strengthened.

User consent required

Every document link requires the user's active consent and biometric confirmation. No one — including IdentiGate — can link documents without the user.

Pseudonymous by design

Your platform receives a Pseudo-ID — not passport numbers. The mapping between documents and Pseudo-ID is never exposed to the relying party.

AML-ready

For regulated entities, Pseudo-ID can surface a "same person" flag when duplicate detection is enabled — helping compliance teams consolidate risk profiles.
