Alipay, Wuhan Police Department Ally to Develop Electronic ID Card
Sohu, 6/23/16
Chinese third-party payment processor Alipay and the Wuhan Public Security Bureau have recently partnered to develop an electronic ID card, which is accessed through Alipay's Wuhan city services portal. The ID card can be used to view basic personal information online, or to make appointments to obtain an official ID card or travel documents. In the future it will be possible to use the electronic ID card for offline hotel registration, event ticket, airport, and train station identity validation purposes.
Alipay's electronic ID card program also plans to add additional online and offline functions in the future, and will be extended nationally throughout China. The electronic IDs use a three-step process to verify the identity of the ID holder, including a facial recognition scan checked by a real person, a dynamic questionnaire based on answers the user has previously provided, and a review of submitted documents to ensure their authenticity.
