Toppan Security has officially completed Fime compliance testing for its Photo ID data model, marking the first time a company has met these standards on both iOS and Android platforms. The testing process verifies that the data model remains consistent with international technical benchmarks.
Why it matters
This compliance testing provides governments and private partners with verified assurance that digital identity implementations align with global standards. Such validation is essential for secure, interoperable digital ID ecosystems like those currently being integrated into mobile wallets.
The Photo ID data model was tested against the ISO/IEC TS 23220-4:2026 Annex C technical standard. This software manages digital identity lifecycles, including facial imagery derived from secure passport chips, via the Verifiable Credential Mobile SDK.

The transition to mobile-first identity relies on strict adherence to protocols like ISO/IEC TS 23220-4:2026 to ensure security across disparate platforms. By achieving this certification, Toppan Security positions itself ahead of competitors struggling to unify identity standards between iOS and Android.
As these standardized ID models are adopted, users can expect more consistent and secure mobile verification experiences when accessing government or commercial services. This ensures that digital identity wallets on both iPhones and Android devices maintain a uniform level of security and data reliability.
The takeaway
Standardized testing is the cornerstone of trust for digital identity tools that replace physical documents. Users should monitor for upcoming updates to their local government ID apps as these secure standards begin to see wider implementation.
