## Overview

Jumio is one of the longest-established names in [identity verification](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/compliance/customer-identity-verification-guide/), covering more than [5,000 ID subtypes across 200 or more countries](https://www.jumio.com/global-coverage/) and reporting over a billion transactions processed. It is privately held by a private equity group led by Centana Growth Partners, which bought the company out of Chapter 11 in 2016 after accounting fraud by its former chief executive, with Great Hill Partners investing 150 million dollars in 2021.

The platform has widened beyond onboarding: selfie.DONE added reusable identity in October 2025, Jumio Watch added post-onboarding continuous monitoring in April 2026, and global digital ID acceptance landed in June 2026.

## What it is good at

Coverage and longevity. The document library is among the largest available, and the June 2026 digital ID work is genuinely forward-looking: acceptance of government-issued digital credentials across 60 or more countries through one integration, including eIDAS-compliant eIDs in nearly 20 EU member states, positions Jumio ahead of most competitors as national wallets roll out. More than a million Brazilian CNH Digital verifications since early 2025 shows real volume behind the claim.

Liveness testing is current. Jumio Liveness achieved [ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2 conformance](https://www.jumio.com/about/press-releases/iso-iec-level-2-compliance/) through iBeta in October 2025, which is recent enough to mean something against modern injection and deepfake attacks.

Compliance covers SOC 2 Type 2 across the platform, ISO/IEC 27001 and PCI DSS, with transaction monitoring separately attested since 2020.

## Where it falls short

Two absences stand out. Jumio does not appear in any NIST face evaluation, so there is no independent recognition accuracy data at all, and its Level 2 press release publishes no error rates to compare. And it is not on the UK statutory verification register, contrary to several secondary sources, which rules it out for UK Right to Work and Right to Rent schemes.

Pricing is unpublished. The only real rate card in the public record is a 2022 UK procurement filing, now four years stale.

Financial and scale disclosure is minimal, as you would expect from a private equity-held company, so customer counts and revenue cannot be verified.

## Pricing

Quote-only. A 2022 UK G-Cloud filing published per-transaction bands from roughly 30 cents for document verification to 2.50 dollars for full ID verification, useful as an order of magnitude only. Model it with our [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/).

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose Jumio for large regulated deployments needing the broadest document coverage and early digital ID acceptance. Choose [Sumsub](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/identity-verification/sumsub/) for published pricing and integrated AML, [Entrust IDV](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/identity-verification/onfido/) for European certification, or [Yoti](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/identity-verification/yoti/) for UK-certified age assurance. See [Jumio vs Onfido](https://startwithidentity.com/compare/jumio-vs-onfido/).

## Bottom line

The broadest document coverage in the category with credible current liveness testing, weakened by no NIST participation, no UK certification and no published pricing.
