Since September, FastID has welcomed a new leader: Rob van Rinsum. With a fresh vision and ambitious plans for digital identity, now is the perfect time to explore his ideas. What makes FastID unique? And what impact has it already had? In this blog post, we’ll dive into how FastID is shaping the future of identification across hospitality, healthcare, and football stadiums.
Rob: “FastID is a platform that fully digitizes traditional paper documents like passports, driver’s licenses, and ID cards. Instead of carrying physical documents, you can now use your phone for identification. This makes the process more efficient, safer, and easier for users.
It’s surprising that even in today’s digital world, we still rely so much on paper documents when technology enables a fully digital approach. With FastID, we offer various identification methods, including QR codes and biometrics. Governments and businesses worldwide are steadily moving toward a future without paper documents.”
“FastID makes it incredibly easy to identify yourself using your phone, with the choice between a QR code or biometrics. While biometrics will ultimately be the future, we understand that some people aren’t ready for that yet. That’s why we offer options, just like smartphones allow you to choose between a passcode, fingerprint, or face scan.
What truly sets FastID apart is that we don’t store any user data. Your personal information remains safely on your phone.”
“N.E.C. is the first stadium in the Netherlands to offer full biometric entry, and we’re proud of that. Supporters have the option of using a QR code or biometrics, but the platform behind it remains the same.
Fans register their identity in advance using their passport, ID, or driver’s license and receive their ticket digitally on their phone. This eliminates the need for paper copies, which are still commonly used at hotels and stadiums. The biggest advantage? FastID does not handle user data—everything remains stored securely on the supporter’s phone.”
“FastID makes digital identification fast and user-friendly, giving people back control over their own identity.
We’re already operating in a hotel, a stadium, and even with an insurance company that uses FastID for secure password resets. But we’re looking beyond that, with exciting opportunities in healthcare. In hospitals and care facilities, physical keys, access cards, and tags create challenges. FastID removes these obstacles with innovative digital identity solutions.”_
“I believe paper documents will eventually disappear. Digital identity will increasingly become the standard. In five years, I expect technologies like FastID to be widely adopted because they combine speed and security without compromising user privacy.”
In a world where speed, security and convenience are essential, optimizing the access process is no longer a luxury, it’s a strategic necessity. Organizations that embrace digital identification and keyless access are building future-proof infrastructures that offer employees and visitors a safe and seamless experience.
