authID, a leading provider of biometric identity verification and authentication solutions, has announced a strategic OEM partnership with a disruptive tech innovator of reusable digital identity and continuous background screening solutions for hiring, as well as compliance and insider risk mitigation. Through the partnership, authID’s robust identity verification and biometric authentication capabilities will enhance the new partner’s continuous identity screening platform.
authID announced an OEM partnership with a reusable digital identity and continuous background screening technology innovator.
The partnership embeds authID Proof for identity verification and authID Verified with PrivacyKey for biometric authentication.
Together, the companies deliver reusable digital identity credentials with persistent background screening across multiple organizations.
The solution addresses fraud, AI-generated imposters, compliance requirements, and litigation risks.
authID’s PrivacyKey architecture ensures biometric data is never stored, supporting privacy compliance.
The candidate verification market is valued at $15.54 billion in 2024 with projected growth to $39 billion by 2032.
As enterprises and SMBs face increasing fraud, compliance requirements, and AI-generated imposters, as well as litigation due to wrongful claims and compliance issues, the need for a persistent, verifiable and reusable identity credential has become critical.
Following initial onboarding, legacy screening approaches often require repeated periodic background checks across employers and platforms. This creates friction for users as well as operational costs and management burdens for organizations.
authID’s new partnership addresses this challenge by issuing reusable digital identity credentials, offering an individual a trust score of up to 360 — a fully verified profile — confirming both ID verification and ongoing background screening for use across multiple businesses and organizations. By embedding authID’s biometric identity verification and authentication technology, the partner’s platform strengthens identity assurance at onboarding, which is then maintained throughout the user lifecycle.
Under the partnership, the OEM partner will incorporate authID Proof for identity verification and authID Verified with PrivacyKey for biometric authentication. authID will serve as a foundational technology partner, supporting the partnership’s ongoing product roadmap.
“Workforce identity screening is evolving beyond one-time verification to continuous trust,” said Rhon Daguro, CEO of authID. “Our new OEM partner’s vision of reusable digital identity with persistent background screening aligns directly with our mission. By embedding our biometric identity assurance technology into this innovative and disruptive platform, we enable a more secure, scalable, and user-friendly approach to hiring and ongoing verification, while simultaneously protecting user privacy.”
Today, the OEM’s platform is used by large enterprises and SMBs for ID verification and continuous background screening across North America, including in healthcare, financial services, youth-based organizations and digital marketplaces. Its solutions support use cases such as employee onboarding, customer verification, and continuous background monitoring to mitigate insider risk and threats, all with a goal to help organizations maintain trust with every employee and volunteer from day one and beyond.
Through the integration of authID, the OEM will offer:
High-assurance, low-friction identity verification using government-issued IDs and biometric liveness detection
Complete privacy protection using cryptographic keys in place of image storage
Passwordless biometric re-authentication for returning users across hiring and verification workflows, reducing fraud, impersonation, and account takeover
A unified, reusable digital identity credential that improves user experience and reduces redundant checks
authID’s technology will be incorporated into workflows and branded as part of the partner’s offering, providing real-time identity decisioning and a scalable API-driven integration.
The partnership supports the OEM’s mission to build a scalable, secure and reusable identity-for-life ecosystem that reduces friction for individuals and organizations alike, without the vulnerabilities and risks of static credentials. As adoption grows, authID’s platform will enable its new partner to increase transaction volumes while maintaining speed, accuracy, and privacy.
Both innovators share a commitment to privacy and responsible biometric data use. authID’s patented PrivacyKey architecture ensures that biometric data is never stored, supporting compliance with evolving privacy regulations while maintaining a high level of identity assurance. The collaboration builds on authID’s already-strong presence in the candidate verification market which, according to Data Bridge, was valued at $15.54 billion in 2024 with projected growth to $39 billion by 2032.
