Verified identity for enrolment, exams and scholarships
Universities, schools, exam bodies and scholarship programmes use RDCPASS to check students against the national register. A student is enrolled under one identity, and the candidate in the exam hall is the one who registered. Grants go to the person they were awarded to.
- Verified student enrolment
- Face match for exam candidates
- Scholarships paid to the intended recipient

The challenges
Exam impersonation
The photo on a paper card is easy to fake. Candidates can send someone else to sit the exam for them.
Misdirected scholarships and grants
Funding goes to duplicate or fictitious recipients, and afterwards the programme has trouble showing who was actually paid.
Enrolment records nobody can verify
When registrations rest on details students declared themselves, the registrar has little to go on when issuing a diploma or answering a verification request.
How RDCPASS helps
Student enrolment
The registrar enrols each student against their certified identity, so names and dates of birth are correct from the first day.
Exam candidate checks
At the exam hall, or before an online exam starts, a live face match confirms that the candidate is the registered student.
Scholarship and grant payouts
Verify each recipient before paying. When the funds are collected, a selfie confirms that the person collecting was the one awarded them.
Student and alumni portals
Students and graduates sign in with RDCPASS to see results, download certificates or have a diploma verified. They share only the details they choose.

Frequently asked questions
Can we verify an entire intake at once?+
Yes. Submit student identifiers in batches of up to 10,000 records. The results arrive in your system when they are ready.
Does the face check work for online exams?+
Yes. The candidate takes a selfie in your exam platform and RDCPASS matches it to their certified identity. The liveness check rejects printed photos and images replayed on a screen.
Can students sign in to our portal without a new password?+
Yes. With Login with RDCPASS they use the identity they already hold, confirm with a face check on their phone and decide which details to share.
Which billing model suits a university or exam body?+
Smaller programmes often pay from a prepaid wallet. Institutions with steady volumes usually move to the Enterprise plan, with one monthly invoice in USD or CDF and negotiated volume pricing.
