This diagram illustrates the process of how someone uses Verified ID to quickly and securely verify their identity.
- A trusted organization—like a government agency or previous employer—attests to a person’s identity, employment status, age, skill, or other identity-related claim. The organization gives the person a verifiable credential that validates their claim.
- After receiving their new credential, the person stores it in their digital wallet.
- That person can present their credential whenever other organizations—like a prospective employer or airline—need to verify claims about their identity.
The diagram also covers some of the benefits of adopting Verified ID. Using Verified ID strengthens identity protection, reduces costs, saves time, improves auditability, mitigates privacy risks, and empowers developers to build confidently on an open standards platform.
