Identity verification is essential to establishing trust, but it’s often repeated unnecessarily, creating friction and frustration for people trying to access services.
Daon integrated our verifiable credentials technology to solve that.
By issuing a reusable verifiable credential after a complete identity verification, organizations can eliminate the need for users to re-scan passports or driver’s licenses every time they need to prove who they are.
Daon’s team joined us for a live session where they showcased how their TrustX platform orchestrates the entire identity flow, from document and biometric checks to issuing a verifiable credential via our Truvera API.
That credential is delivered straight to the user’s Truvera ID wallet, where it can be securely reused in future interactions.
Business Use Cases for Verifiable Credentials
During the session, Paul Kenny, VP of Customer Success at Daon, shared how they are seeing real demand from customers who want to streamline how they share verified data.
Whether it’s inside a company, across a partner network, or with external organizations, reusable credentials are opening up new opportunities.
With this integration, their clients will be able to:
- Issue credentials once and reuse them for future logins or transactions.
- Share verified data across departments or with partners without re-verifying the user.
- Enable seamless age verification, loyalty enrollment, or check-ins at retail locations—without over-sharing personal information.
Industry Trends and Vision
Both Paul Kenny and Thomas Reddy, Principal Consultant at Daon, pointed to a larger shift in the identity space: users are demanding smoother, more privacy-preserving experiences.
Rather than scanning and sharing full ID documents each time, people want to prove just what’s needed, like confirming they’re over 18, without exposing everything.
They see verifiable credentials as a way to:
- Reduce the burden of repeated identity proofing.
- Empower users to control what they share, and with whom.
- Support global standards while enabling privacy-first data sharing.
- Help organizations adapt to emerging regulations like eIDAS 2.0 and secure customer authentication rules.
As Paul noted, this isn’t just an upgrade to onboarding, it’s a new trust layer that can be used long after that first identity check.
