Photo Verification
Verifying the Person Behind the Badge
Photo Verification helps ensure that the person using the Digi-Badge app is the legitimate Blue Badge holder. Before a parking session begins, the app securely compares a live photograph of the user with the official photograph associated with their registered Blue Badge.
This provides an additional layer of confidence for both Blue Badge holders and local authorities, helping to protect the integrity of the digital parking system.
Intelligent Identity Verification
When a parking session is started, the user is prompted to take a quick live photograph using their device’s camera. The image is securely compared against the verified Blue Badge photograph held on the system to confirm that the person using the app matches the registered badge holder.
The entire process takes only a few seconds and is designed to be simple and convenient for everyday use.
Supporting Fair and Trusted Parking
Photo Verification is one of the technologies that makes Digi-Badge different from traditional Blue Badge schemes. By confirming that the registered holder is the person starting the parking session, the platform provides greater confidence for Blue Badge holders, Civil Enforcement Officers and local authorities while helping reduce fraud and misuse.
Seamlessly Integrated
Photo Verification forms part of the normal parking process and requires no additional equipment beyond the user’s mobile device. Once verification has been successfully completed, the parking session can begin immediately.
Privacy and Security
Photographs are processed securely using modern encryption and identity verification technology. Personal information is handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements, and access to verification data is restricted to authorised systems and personnel.
Helping Prevent Misuse
By confirming the identity of the person starting a parking session, Photo Verification helps reduce the risk of Blue Badges being used by unauthorised individuals. This supports fairer enforcement while helping ensure that parking concessions remain available for those who are genuinely entitled to use them.
