Regula Says Identity Verification User Base Has Reached 240 Million

Regula said the global end-user base supported by its identity verification technologies has grown 62 percent year over year to more than 240 million, a milestone the company is using to argue that digital identity checks are becoming embedded infrastructure across regulated industries. The company said the increase reflects expansion among existing customers as well as new client wins in sectors ranging from banking and telecom to border control, aviation and online platforms.

Regula said its technologies now support thousands of organizations and 80 border control authorities worldwide. It cited customer activity involving firms such as UBS, Wizz Air, AirAsia, Pearson and Uber, alongside newer work with iCard and border authorities in Ecuador and Laos. The company also pointed to rising usage in Australia, Germany, the UK, Canada and the United States, as well as Taiwan, Singapore and the UAE, where it said compliance pressure and fraud concerns are pushing organizations to strengthen remote verification.

The announcement was not limited to volume. Regula paired the growth figure with a product story built around its newly launched IDV Platform, which it said brings orchestration, document and biometric verification, and identity lifecycle controls into a single system. The company also highlighted age estimation, privacy features such as personal-data masking, and support for mobile driver’s licenses as areas of expansion. That keeps the verification layer tied not only to onboarding, but also to ongoing fraud controls, data handling and repeat access decisions.

Those themes line up with recent policy and product moves across the sector. The European Commission last week published an age verification use case manual for the EUDI Wallet, while Florida lawmakers advanced offline verification and data-minimization rules for mDLs. Vendors are also pulling identity verification and liveness checks into orchestration platforms rather than treating them as separate steps.

Regula’s update does not provide independently audited usage figures, but it does offer a useful signal about where demand is accumulating. The company is effectively describing a market in which document verification, biometric checks, age gates and digital credentials increasingly sit inside the same trust stack, with the verification layer staying active long after an account is opened.
