Decentralized ID demos

Most interactions with local government still rely on paper forms, manual checks, and brittle PDFs. In this demo, Richard Esplin (Head of Product at Truvera) shows how a city can issue a digital residency credential and then use it to verify eligibility across departments—from getting a library card to scheduling trash pickup—using verifiable credentials.

Managing and verifying professional certificates is still stuck in the paper era: paper documents are slow, insecure, and easy to fake. Digital PDFs aren’t much better — they can be forged, misplaced, or become outdated as soon as someone changes jobs.

When users complete their first ID verification, issue them a verifiable credential that identifies them. When that user later onboards with one of your clients or another internal siloed system, you can request the credential and instantly identify them in your system, speeding up the verification process.

When customers can present their pre-verified digital ID credentials, they no longer need to repeatedly input their details or gather physical documents every time they want to sign up for a new service. See how Digital ID credentials can also be used for internal use cases and within corporate groups, enabling subsidiaries of the same corporation, which typically conduct customer verifications separately, to exchange verified data securely.

When users present verifiable credentials during onboarding, you can instantly confirm they've been verified before and accurately match their data. This eliminates repetitive data entry and document submissions, reducing friction for users and streamlining the onboarding process across multiple clients or siloed IAM systems. As a result, the overall user experience and operational efficiency improve.

The Truvera platform simplifies the creation of digital ID ecosystems, streamlining stakeholder management and the verification of digital credentials. Organizations can easily invite and manage trusted credential issuers and verifiers, enabling secure data exchanges within the ecosystem—without the need for custom integrations.

Being able to revoke an ID credential ensures that you retain control over the data that you and your clients issue. See how you can easily update and revoke a credential using Truvera's API.
