identicare

Identicare is a term used in different contexts. In Italian, identicare is a verb connected to identity and recognition, related to the noun identità (identity) and the adjective identico (identical). It is used in discussions about determining what something or someone is, or about making two things the same.

In commerce and technology, Identicare has been adopted as a brand or product name by several providers offering identity-related services such as verification, authentication, or identity data matching. Because branding choices vary by company, the exact scope of services labeled Identicare can differ from one issuer to another.

As a result, there is no single universal definition of identicare. Its meaning depends on context: linguistically, it relates to identity and identification; commercially, it denotes a particular brand or line of services associated with identity verification and related processes.
