Hopae, the digital identity verification platform, has launched INE QR eID verification for Mexico, extending Hopae Connect’s global coverage to more than 70 electronic identity documents through a single API.
The launch gives businesses operating in Mexico direct access to the country’s national voter identification credential, INE, which covers roughly 100m eligible adults, with the new QR-based check unlocking verification for an addressable pool of 80m users. Hopae said the integration is built on INE’s latest and most secure credential generation, introducing cryptographic validation of the document itself rather than relying on photo or visual inspection alone. The company described this as establishing a genuine root-of-trust check, closing gaps that appearance-only checks can miss.
Hopae positioned the release as future-proof, noting that the system is designed to remain compatible with Mexico’s forthcoming biometric CURP rollout. The company said the deterministic, cryptography-based approach cuts fraud risk while reducing onboarding friction, since end users are not required to take extra steps to complete verification. Hopae added that the new check lowers the cost of trust for businesses by replacing manual or photo-based document reviews with automated, instant verification.
The integration can be deployed flexibly, according to Hopae, either as an additional layer within existing regulated know-your-customer and anti-money laundering workflows, or as a standalone option for non-regulated use cases. It is also designed to work alongside other identity tools already in use, such as facial matching and liveness detection.
Hopae Connect is the company’s identity verification platform, used by businesses to authenticate customers across multiple markets through a single integration point.
Hopae framed the Mexico launch as part of a broader push to deepen its presence across Latin America, pointing to the region’s expanding digital economy as a key reason global companies are prioritising expansion there.
