Government documents
Safe digital credentials that citizens will actually use
It’s 2021 and most government-related cards, like IDs and driver’s licenses, are paper-based. That all changes with verifiable credentials.
The problem
There are good reasons why, despite all the technological advancement that is commonplace in 2021, most of the world has no digital government ID or other important certificates. Overcoming privacy, security, and interoperability concerns are challenging. But without truly digital credentials, citizens are left taking pictures of important documents to prove their identity online, which is unsafe and inconvenient. Different systems don’t work together, and millions of hours are wasted on paper-based processes.
The solution
Verifiable credentials offer a tamper-proof, privacy-first, interoperable solution for digital government documents, such as driver’s licenses, passports, business licenses, etc. Traditional issuers of documents can save time and money by going digital, while empowering citizens with a digital identity backed by a trusted institution. With Trinsic, you can protect citizens from phishing by restricting with whom and how data is shared. Others in your ecosystem, like other departments or partners, can easily authorize people based on the credentials you issue.

The Trinsic advantage
Interoperability
Trinsic's technology is powered by standards, meaning you'll be interoperable with solutions developed by companies like Microsoft, IBM, Workday, and more.
Safety and control
Ensure sensitive data is never shared with fraudulent or coercive relying parties.
Seamless integrations

Privacy by design
Data is never shared without the consent of the individual. Advanced privacy techniques make tracking and surveillance extremely difficult.
How it works
- 1. Government agencies give citizens and/or businesses digital versions of IDs, licenses, and certificates.
- 2. The intended recipient can store the digital credentials online or in their phone's wallet and can access them at anytime.
- 3. The recipient can generate a QR code that proves to any verifiers in your ecosystem the credential was really issued to them and is legitimate.
