Klippa (Doxis): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Klippa provides identity verification and document processing for organisations that onboard customers or want to process documents automatically. Its identity checks cover proof of identity, address, employment, income and age, with liveness detection and NFC, MRZ and selfie checks. The platform also processes documents using OCR, data extraction, classification and anonymisation. It is a cloud service used through an interface, APIs and SDKs. Since March 2025 Klippa has been part of Doxis, and products such as DocHorizon are now called Doxis AI.dp.

The legal entity is Doxis AI Solutions B.V., a Dutch company. Klippa is a Dutch technology company that was acquired in March 2025 by the German Doxis (formerly SER Group), so the owner is in the EU. According to the website, the service runs on Microsoft Azure in a region of the customer's choice. It is not open source. Because Azure is operated by a US provider, selecting an EU region and agreeing terms with the vendor is a point of attention for a European organisation.
