TECH5 has been selected as the biometric technology provider for Peru’s National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) following a successful public tender. Under the three-year contract, TECH5 will implement its biometric platforms for facial capture and verification in RENIEC’s digital identity validation processes.Futuristic digital circuit board display showing a skull icon and various technological elements, depicting the concept of cybersecurity threats or malicious hacking activities within computer systems.

The implementation centers on two core TECH5 technologies: T5-AirSnap Face and T5-OmniMatch ABIS. T5-AirSnap Face offers AI-powered mobile facial biometric capture through smartphone cameras while ensuring compliance with ISO and ICAO standards. The T5-OmniMatch ABIS platform performs multi-biometric matching for identification, de-duplication, verification, and authentication processes.

RENIEC, an autonomous constitutional body of the Peruvian government established in 1995, manages the identification and civil registration of Peruvian citizens. The organization issues national identity documents (DNI), records vital events including births, marriages, divorces, and deaths, and maintains the National Registry of Identification. RENIEC also maintains and updates the voter registry for electoral processes.

The new system will allow Peruvian citizens to access RENIEC’s digital services and connected entities through secure biometric verification. This enhances Peru’s existing digital identity infrastructure, following RENIEC’s previous work with Ipsidy’s biometric identity solutions around the turn of the decade.

Jeremy James, VP of Sales and Business Development for the CALA region at TECH5 Group, said: “RENIEC is one of the most advanced citizen identity services, and we are delighted to provide our technology to them and empower such a fundamental organization with TECH5’s platforms, which benefit the Peruvian citizens by securely accessing RENIEC’s applications anywhere in the world using their mobile device or web browser.”

TECH5 continues to expand its global presence in digital identity solutions. The company recently joined the OSIA Initiative to promote interoperability in digital ID systems, and their T5-OmniMatch platform has achieved compliance with key digital ID standards in telecommunications.
