Trusted ID verification checks

Bluink’s eID-Me mobile application uses biometric face match technology and assesses government-issued ID, including a passport issued by other countries, to check against a multitude of compliance datapoints including credit bureau and mobile device account verification.

What is Bluink’s eID-Me app?

eID-Me Digital ID (eID-Me) is a smartphone application created and owned by Bluink, and used to verify and authenticate personal identity and identity documents.

Can I access Bluink’s eID-Me app on both a desktop and a mobile phone?

No, eID-Me can only be accessed on a mobile phone.

Do I need to order a title insurance policy from FCT to validate my customer’s ID?

No. We wanted to give you more flexibility by giving you the option to place your request for ID verification in conjunction with a title insurance policy order, or without; the choice is yours.

Does a government-issued photo identification have to be Canadian?

Yes, a Canadian ID is needed as a primary document. However, a passport from a foreign country may be used as a secondary document. The following documents are accepted to process the verification:

Driver's license, photo ID card or service card issued anywhere in Canada
Chip-activated passports issued from the following countries: Canada, USA, France, China, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Morocco, Japan and India
Secondary government-issued identity documents include a Canadian permanent resident card, secure certificate of Indian status, FAST and NEXUS cards

What happens to personal data submitted for identity verification?

Once an eID-Me ID is issued to the smartphone, your customer will always be notified of what information is being requested, and by whom, during a transaction. No information is released unless your customer approves the release. If your customer consents to release information, it will be sent to the requesting third party through the eID-Me identity service. A local, encrypted, record of the transaction is retained within the eID-Me smartphone app for your customer's convenience, which can be erased or disabled at any time. The information your customer releases to these third parties will be governed by their privacy policies and terms.

How will I be billed?

Invoices for Client ID Verification requests will be issued from FCT and available to download from the ID verification portal. The fees will automatically be added to your FCT account statement.
