Features Overview
The Signup Service in eSignet provides a secure, user-friendly, and standards-based platform for user onboarding and identity verification. It supports a wide spectrum of use cases—from basic profile creation to high-assurance identity verification—making it suitable for both public and private sector services.
Below are the core capabilities of the Signup module:
1. Create User Profile with Minimum Details
The Signup module allows users to create a profile using basic personal information, enabling fast and seamless onboarding. Users can optionally set a password during registration, allowing the profile to function as a standalone password-based account when required.
Dynamic Signup Form (Schema-Driven UI)
Earlier, the Signup form was static and offered limited flexibility in modifying field labels, types, or structure. The module now features a schema-driven dynamic form, enabling:
Full customization of fields (add, update, delete)
Support for multiple input types such as:
Photo capture
Dropdowns
Date pickers
And more
Adaptability to the relying party’s specific onboarding requirement
Refer to the detailed form schema and configuration documentation.
2. SignUp with Video eKYC
For services requiring stronger identity verification, the Signup module supports a complete video eKYC flow. This allows relying parties to collect verified claims through a secure, real-time video interaction.
As part of this enhancement, eSignet has implemented the OpenID Identity Assurance 1.0 flow to enable the processing, verification, and storage of verified claims once a user chooses to undergo video eKYC.
eSignet’s implementation of the OpenID Identity Assurance 1.0 profile ensures that verified identity attributes collected during video eKYC are handled securely, consistently, and in a standards-aligned manner.
Video eKYC can be triggered based on the relying party’s onboarding requirements:
Immediately after initial registration, or
As part of a high-assurance onboarding flow

Identity Assurance Flow (eKYC Verification)
For regulated industries such as banking, insurance, and digital governance, eSignet singup supports a robust Identity Assurance Flow that offers high-confidence verification at login.
This flow includes but not limited to:
Real-time video-based KYC (eKYC) Live video verification ensures the person signing in is the rightful identity holder.
Government-issued document scanning Scans and validates official identity documents for authenticity.
Biometric validation Optional biometric checks (such as facial recognition) to further strengthen identity verification.
This ensures that only verified individuals gain access to sensitive services, reducing fraud and enhancing compliance with national and international regulatory standards.
Powered by OpenID Connect Assurance Extension
The eSignet Sign-Up and Identity Assurance processes are built on the OpenID Connect (OIDC) Assurance Extension, which enhances the trustworthiness of identity claims.
This includes:
Verification Status Identifies whether a claim (e.g., name, ID number) is self-declared or verified by a trusted source.
Verification Process Details Captures how each claim was verified—via biometric checks, document validation, or video-based processes—and by whom.
Assurance Level Communicates the level of confidence in the verification, helping relying parties make informed decisions about trust and access.
This structured metadata provides transparency and trust in digital identities, especially critical in environments with high compliance requirements.
3. Password Reset & Update
The Signup module provides built-in support for:
Password reset (in case a user forgets their password)
Password update (when the user wants to change an existing password)
These flows are implemented with strong security safeguards to ensure users can recover or modify their credentials without compromising identity integrity.
Summary
The eSignet Sign-Up Service is a comprehensive solution for digital identity onboarding and verification. Whether you're offering public healthcare, digital banking, or secure citizen services, it empowers you to:
Onboard users with flexibility and speed
Apply tiered identity verification based on use case
Meet compliance standards with verified identity metadata

User Profile Creation
eSignet offers multiple ways to incrementally create a user profile, based on the level of assurance and regulatory requirements of the relying party.
1. KYC with Minimum Details
Users can sign up by providing basic personal information, validated against national ID systems like MOSIP. This allows for quick onboarding with foundational identity assurance.

Users have the option to create a traditional username/password profile. This supports both identity-linked and standalone account creation, depending on the integration setup.
