Dott self-service scooters are accessible to users over the age of 18. Until now, a declaration of honor was required to be able to register for the service, notifying that if the user was untruthful and not of legal age, they will not be covered by automatic comprehensive insurance.
As of Monday October 26, new Dott users will undergo a quick digital age and identity verification process after their first ride in Lyon.
This unique trial with identity verification makes it possible to protect the safety of its users and ensures that only age-appropriate riders are allowed to use Dott e-scooters.
This verification process is managed by Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and eKYC solutions. Jumio’s identity verification and authentication solutions leverage AI, biometrics, machine learning, liveness detection and automation to establish the real-world identity of the users. Once compatibility has been established between the identity document and the person's face, personal data is managed by Jumio inline with GDPR regulations.
For Henri Moissinac, CEO of Dott: “This trial is part of a comprehensive prevention and safety policy led by Dott so that traveling on a scooter remains a pleasure in a peaceful city!”.
For Sam Duggan, Head of Account Management, EMEA at Jumio: “We are delighted that Dott chose Jumio’s services to verify the identity and age of all their scooter riders in Lyon. Our aim is to create a speedy onboarding experience for customers ready to hop on a scooter and enjoy the city safely”.
