2D-Doc · ISO 22376 · AFNOR XP Z42-105
Verify a document's authenticity in one scan.
VDS Verify decodes and verifies Visible Digital Seals (VDS) printed on official documents, bills and certificates, and checks their signature against the ANTS trusted list.
Our VDS issuing technology is used in production by the French Ministry of the Interior for France Identité.
Everything you need to trust a document
Instant scan

Verified signature
Checks the electronic signature and the certificate's validity (dates, revocation) against the ANTS Trusted List.
