Showcase Delivers ProTech ID Checker to ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT for Enhanced Identity Verification

Showcase Teams Up with ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT

In a significant step towards enhancing digital security, Showcase Inc., based in Tokyo's Minato Ward, has partnered with ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT to provide its cutting-edge identity verification tool, the ProTech ID Checker. This collaboration comes in response to stringent regulations mandated by the revised Mobile Phone Fraud Prevention Law, effective from April 2026, making accurate identification verification during mobile phone contracts crucial.

Background of ProTech ID Checker Deployment

As per the new regulations, there is a heightened requirement for identity verification, particularly with the implementation of the Public Individual Authentication Service (JPKI), which necessitates direct reading of the IC chip embedded in foreign residents' cards. This has made it imperative for firms like ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT to create a robust identity verification system to adhere to these legal requirements while ensuring smooth operations in their everyday processes.

To address these challenges, ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT opted for the ProTech ID Checker. This tool does not only facilitate compliance with the new regulations but also optimizes the operational workflow, streamlining the transition from introduction to regular use. The ProTech ID Checker supports multiple identification documents, including My Number cards, driving licenses, residence cards, and special permanent resident certificates, ensuring that the verification process is both legally compliant and user-friendly.

Usability as a Key Selection Criterion

According to ONODERA LIFE SUPPORT, user-friendliness was a primary criterion in selecting an identity verification tool. They found the ProTech ID Checker to be exceptionally designed for both user and management interfaces, considerably more intuitive than its competitors. This ease of use was a significant factor in their decision to adopt the tool.

Showcase is committed to improving usability for its clients while helping businesses streamline their operations through the use of ProTech ID Checker. This will contribute to promoting safe and secure digital transactions.
