We’re introducing a new layer of verification — a user-friendly, easily recognizable badge. Additionally, independent organizations can verify accounts directly through our Trusted Verifiers feature.

PrivateID offers secure, on-device biometric authentication and identity verification, ensuring privacy with no data leaving your device.

Get started with the Verify with Wallet API - Apple Developer
Apps that require age or identity verification can use the Verify with Wallet API to quickly and securely verify a person’s information using their digital driver’s license or state ID stored in Apple Wallet.
