BioID is a Germany-based biometric authentication company offering cloud-native identity services via APIs and SDKs. Its primary product, the BioID Web Service (BWS), provides face and periocular recognition, liveness detection (to prevent spoofing), and identity proofing tools for applications across login, KYC (Know Your Customer), access control, and remote workforce security.
Traditional passwords and tokens are increasingly vulnerable to hacking and fraud. BioID’s biometrics add a strong, user-friendly second factor that helps businesses reduce fraud, meet regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR), and deliver smoother login/verification experiences. Its API-first approach lets developers integrate advanced biometric workflows without heavy infrastructure.
BioID provides REST/SOAP APIs and developer tools that connect your application with cloud-based biometric services. You send images or video frames; the service performs matching and liveness checks reliably and returns a decision. BioID also offers PhotoVerify for ID document ownership checks and periocular recognition (eye-region matching for masked faces).
