ID.me Secures Funding to Expand AI-Resilient Identity Infrastructure

ID.me has raised $340 million in Series E funding to scale its secure, interoperable digital identity platform ¹. With over 152 million users and adoption across 20 US federal and 45 state agencies, the platform supports federated identity at NIST IAL2 assurance levels—essential for high-trust public sector applications.

The platform’s enrolment workflow relies on government-issued identity documents—typically ICAO 9303-compliant ePassports, national ID cards, or REAL ID-compliant driving licences—as primary evidence of identity. These are authenticated using document-centric verification technologies including OCR, barcode parsing, NFC chip reading, and anti-spoofing checks, supplemented by selfie-based biometric comparison and liveness detection. This integration of physical and digital credentials ensures both provenance and uniqueness of identity claims.
