Facial Recognition Laws Global: a country-by-country Compliance Guide ↗
What happened
- The article states that China's Security Management Measures for facial recognition took effect on 1 June 2025.
- The article states that Illinois SB 2979 signed on 2 August 2024 provides a single recovery per same identifier and method of collection.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The guide frames 1:1 selfie verification as lower-risk than 1:N identification, a framing relevant to Signicat's document IDV and biometric onboarding positioning.
- The piece emphasises accuracy evidence across demographic groups as a converging requirement, which bears on NFC and face-match claims in Signicat's document verification line.
