life? Can you also share with us your favourite
lifemantra?
My favourite personal mantra is: “Tomorrow
is the first day of the rest of your life.” I believe
that no one is limited by her/his past and that
everyone can reach her/his goals no matter how
big they are or how often they have failed while
trying in the past - just try again.
One of our values at IDnow is “Making the
impossible happen” That's very much in line

requirements. Together with our clients, we are
