A thorough testing process is imperative before adopting an IDV system, especially for businesses that are large in scale. However, it is almost impossible to obtain a reliable set of IDs with real NFC chips (as they contain sensitive personal data) to test-drive the verification process in order to determine if it can work. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to conduct both positive and negative verification scenarios without representative ID sampling. Regula's unique service, Regula NFC TestKit, addresses these issues effectively.
The Regula team creates a test set of identity documents with NFC chips according to the specific business needs and market goals of the particular company, which are personalized with the data of both fictitious identities or those provided by the customer.. Additionally, a visual area and a machine readable area (MRZ) can also be generated so that robust cross-checking and system testing can be performed in addition to the chip. Test IDs are simplified images (with special markings to show that they are not complete replicas) of the required pages of the documents that the company intends to verify as part of the testing process. In order to ensure that the IDV solution is able to recognize them properly, they are backed up with corresponding templates in a special database version

Based on a company's specific business needs and market goals, Regula can create a set of identity documents with NFC chips that are personalized with the data of fictitious identities or those that the customer provides the company with. In addition to the chip, a visual zone and a machine readable zone (MRZ) can also be generated for robust cross-checking and system testing in addition to the chip. It should be noted that these test IDs are simplified images (accompanied by special marks to indicate that they are not complete replicas) of the required pages of the documents that the company intends to verify.. In order for the IDV solution to recognize them appropriately, they are backed up with corresponding templates in a special database version that is not available to the general public

The following are some of the benefits enterprises can enjoy by choosing Regula NFC TestKit service:
As a result of its forensic examination capabilities, as well as its IDV software and hardware development capabilities, Regula is able to provide this service to its clients. The company uses its NFC chips to store fictitious person's data, which is then recorded using Regula's document readers to create the NFC chip's personalization. It is important to note that Regula generates all necessary certificate chains for every country in the list, signs the data using these certificates, and provides them to the customer for passive authentication purposes.. By using this approach, businesses are able to take advantage of lifelike document verification when testing their IDV systems, since it fully simulates the scenario with real NFC chips in real ID cards

Due to the fact that Regula NFC TestKit is backed by the world's largest database of identity document template templates, which is exclusively owned and maintained by Regula, it comes with this functionality. It is possible for testing purposes to mimic nearly any identity document for any test purpose in this database, as it contains more than 13,000 templates of IDs from 247 countries and territories. Regula is able to cover any geographical area a business may be interested in thanks to this asset. 
As a matter of fact, until now there has been no solution available on the market to address this gap. Businesses are currently trying to find suitable solutions to independently test the remote onboarding process of electronic documents. As a result of our new service for complete imitation of real IDs, Regula allows organizations to conduct highly efficient tests before launching their IDV systems in order to identify any potential issues and to prevent them from occurring," Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula, explains.
