IAL3 Identity Credentialing Anchored in Verified Identity

NextgenID manages the full Identity Assurance Level 3 (IAL3) identity credentialing lifecycle, from supervised IAL3 identity proofing through cryptographic binding to a high-assurance credential of record. Whether we package and deliver verified enrollment data for your agency to adjudicate and issue, or we handle end-to-end credential issuance ourselves, every path starts at the same place: a verified identity you can stand behind.

// IAL3 CERTIFIED // KANTARA APPROVED

Trusted IAL3 identity credentialing anchored in supervised, high-integrity identity data

NextgenID enables organizations to issue, renew, and manage credentials based on identity data captured under secure and fully supervised conditions. Every credential workflow maintains strict compliance with U.S. federal standards and regulated industry requirements.

FROM IDENTITY TO CREDENTIAL

From Unknown to Certified Identity Credential in Under 7 Minutes.

We eliminate on-site time by completing the high-latency steps before the enrollee arrives. By the time they reach an identity station, the session is pre-configured, data is pre-validated, and issuance follows immediately after biometric capture.

1. Remote Pre-Enrollment

Enrollee completes data entry and document upload remotely. High-latency tasks are finished before arrival.

2. QR Check-In

Enrollee scans a unique QR code at any identity station for instant session authentication.

3. IAL3 Proofing

Face, iris, and fingerprint capture with document verification and validation, supervised by a certified agent. Completed in under 7 minutes.

4. Credential Issuance

Immediate issuance or encrypted enrollment package delivery, depending on your model.

Support for Federal and Enterprise Credentials

NextgenID supports a broad range of high-assurance credential types, including:

PIV, PIV-I / CAC

Hardened physical credentials for federal employees, contractors, and defense personnel. Issued by NextgenID as a Non-Federal Issuer, proven in air-gapped environments where standard solutions don’t exist.

  • HSPD-12 / FIPS 201-3 Aligned
  • On-Card Biometric Comparison
  • PACS & LACS Interoperable

FIDO / YubiKey

Phishing-resistant AAL3 hardware tokens for remote workforce security.

  • YubiKey & FIDO2 Support
  • Passkey Infrastructure Ready
  • Multi-Factor Hardware Binding

Derived Mobile (DMC)

PIV-level trust is saved in a smartphone secure element.

  • NIST SP 800-157 Compliant
  • Secure Element (SE) Storage
  • Over-the-Air Lifecycle Management

Chain-of-Custody and Audit Controls

From the moment biometric capture begins to the day a credential is revoked, every event is recorded, timestamped, and tamper-evident, giving your organization a complete, defensible record of who was issued what, when, and why.

  • Full traceability of every IAL3 identity credentialing event: issuance, renewal, and revocation

  • Automated lifecycle alerts, credentials don’t outlive their authorization

  • Defense against insider threats through end-to-end session integrity

  • Audit-ready documentation for CISA, IG, and GAO review requirements

"Complete Chain-of-Custody is the only defense against the identity crisis. Our platform manages the full lifecycle from IAL3 biometric enrollment to real-time revocation across the entire enterprise."

— Michael Harris, EVP & CTO, NextgenID
