Brief

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) seeks a commercial identity verification (IDV) solution to support the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Service (DMARES). Following the regulatory modernization of unmanned aircraft systems, drone operators must now register or renew their Operator ID through DMARES with verified identity checks. The service must provide automated IDV capability to streamline the registration process, enhance customer experience, improve operational efficiency, and ensure operator records are linked to verified individuals. Suppliers should offer a scalable, reliable solution compatible with DMARES systems.
