A New Direction for Identity Proofing in Europe
The updated ETSI standard (TS 119 461 v2.1.1) introduces new requirements for how identities are proofed, with a focus on remote and automated processes.
With clearly defined use cases, accepted verification methods, and stronger alignment with eIDAS and AML regulations, it marks an important step toward harmonising identity proofing across Europe.
In this webinar, you’ll hear from experts at ETSI and Signicat, including the editor of the updated ETSI standard. They’ll walk you through the key changes and explain what they mean for your business.
On the agenda:
Harmonisation – Why identity proofing is being aligned across the EU
Compliance – What the updated ETSI standard requires and how it connects to eIDAS and AML
Implementation – How to choose the right tools and processes to meet ETSI requirements
