British reusable digital identity providers, Yoti and Luciditi, today announce that they are working together to further grow the UK network of interoperable digital ID wallets available to businesses needing to verify customers’ ages, both online and in person. This 7 million strong UK network now includes Yoti, Post Office EasyID, Lloyds Bank Smart ID, and Luciditi meeting the demand for secure, efficient and trusted digital ID wallets for the UK market. All four Digital ID wallets are certified to the UK Government’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework.

Individuals create and manage their reusable Digital ID on their phones – verifying their identity once with a secure but easy to use app. Anyone using one of these four Digital ID wallets will be able to prove their age with a large and growing network of businesses online and in person.

Robin Tombs, CEO at Yoti said, “Interoperability is the next frontier for digital ID wallets. Joining forces with Luciditi demonstrates our commitment to building an open, collaborative ecosystem where people are in control of their identity, no matter which provider they choose. Digital ID wallets only maximise the benefits to individuals and businesses when they are networked as widely as possible.” 

Ian Moody, CEO and co-founder at Luciditi said, “This UK network is a major step towards a future where digital identity works across businesses, providers and platforms. We’re excited to play a part in creating a new network through interoperability and welcome other providers joining in future as the demand for connected, secure age and identity solutions grows in the UK.”

It’s a significant step towards modernising everyday, in-store interactions for retailers and hospitality venues across the country. To help businesses prepare for these changes with confidence, we’re launching the Digital ID Connect ID Checker app. It’s a free, simple and secure way for staff to verify customers’ digital IDs when they choose to use them to prove their age or identity in person.

Yoti completes 1 billion age checks - and counting!

We’re celebrating a huge moment in our journey: Yoti has now completed over 1 billion age checks! When we started out, we had a simple but powerful ambition: to help people prove their age without revealing their full identity. We recognised early on that not everyone has access to a document or always feels comfortable using it. That’s why we innovated and developed facial age estimation. Reaching this milestone – across facial age estimation, Digital IDs, identity document checks and our other secure age-checking methods – shows that our technology is being used safely and responsibly around the
