Drop in digital credential verification
Accept and verify digital IDs from Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, government wallets, and any compatible wallet through one integration, with optional biometric verification to confirm the holder is who they claim to be.
Drop-in verification of digital credentials
Accept and verify digital IDs from any compatible wallet through one integration. We handle the standards, the wallet fragmentation, and the cryptography. You get a clean, verified result.
New flows, not just a new factor
Combine digital credentials with passkeys, biometrics, or adaptive MFA to craft tailored user journeys. A verified credential can gate a flow, step up a high-risk action, or recover an account. All configured within our new flow builder. Powered by the same no-code rules engine you already use.
Best digital-credential UX available
Same-device, cross-device, and digital credential API flows handled automatically, the pre-built UI routes each user into the right path for their device and wallet. Designed to adapt to the evolving landscape of standards and wallets. No dead ends, no “which button do I press,” no engineering guesswork.

What are digital credentials?
Digital credentials are secure, digitally signed identity or entitlement documents stored in a digital wallet. They can be issued by governments, businesses, or organizations.
Government
Driver's licenses, passports, national IDs
Access & membership
Season passes, student IDs, loyalty cards
Licensing
Fishing licenses, professional credentials
A trusted issuer, government, or organization creates and signs a digital credential and places it into a wallet.
A user securely stores the credential in their digital wallet (Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or a government/organisation wallet).
A business requests specific fields, our API verifies the issuer and the data, and can perform a live face match to confirm the person is the true holder.
Why verify digital credentials with Authsignal
Add credential verification and biometric authentication to your app in minutes, not months.
Developer-friendly API
A simple, flexible API built for modern identity flows
Fast, private, secure
Built for regulated industries and privacy-conscious teams
Selective disclosure
Request only the verified fields you need - nothing more
Biometric binding
Live face match between the portrait in the credential and the user's real-time selfie, confirming the holder is the real person. Orchestrated through Authsignal's biometric vendor marketplace.
Three ways to use digital credentials
One-off checks
Verify a digital credential without tying it to a user profile. Check age, licence validity, or entitlement. Perfect for online age gates, simple compliance checks, and lightweight verification flows.
Identify & recover accounts
Use digital credentials + a live biometric match to securely identify a user. Map credential claims to a user and require face matching to ensure the presenter is the real owner. Ideal for account recovery.
Strong authentication factor
Treat a digital credential + biometric match as a high-assurance MFA factor. Works similarly to passkeys but with verified identity claims. Ideal for sensitive transactions and secure access flows.

How it works
Business requests verification
Your system calls the Digital Credential Verification API with the fields it needs.
API call specifies required fields (e.g., age, name, document validity)
User presents credentials (selective disclosure)
User taps or scans a QR to share verified fields from their wallet.
Only requested fields are shared — nothing more
Biometric binding
Authsignal performs a real-time selfie check to ensure holder = credential owner.
Live face match confirms the person presenting is the true holder
Verification result delivered
Your app receives the verification result, including selected fields.
