About Digital ID
The future-proof form of ID
Digital ID gives your customers a convenient and privacy-friendly way to prove who they are to your organisation with the Yoti app. They only need to verify their identity details once with Yoti to create a reusable digital ID they can use to instantly access your services.
- Customers share just the details you need and nothing more.
- Already accepted at thousands of stores and websites.
- Interoperable with the Post Office EasyID app.
- Secure log in without a password for returning users.
How digital ID works
Users add a government-issued ID document and take a biometric selfie to create their reusable digital ID. Once verified, they simply scan a QR code or tap a button to share only the details your organisation needs.
Try the demo
When you scan the QR code with the Yoti app, you’ll be asked to share an anonymous RememberMe ID credential. We don’t store these details for the demo.

The Yoti app
A safe place for your customers' details
Verified personal details
Any information a person adds to their Yoti app can be verified by us so you know they’re genuine. As well as information extracted from a government-approved ID document, we can also verify details they manually add like contact details. All these details are securely encrypted and stored in their Yoti app where only they can access them.
- ID document details
- Contact details
- Address details
- Digital proof of age cards
Verified credentials
Using the same technology, organisations can issue credentials to a user’s Yoti app which can be shared digitally or shown on screen.
- Medical test results
- Residency status
- Staff or student ID cards
- Qualifications / certifications
Core verification process
How we verify your customers
Our robust verification process uses automated processes, supported by a team of verification experts, to ensure only genuine users can create a digital ID.
Liveness detection
Our anti-spoofing liveness test gives us confidence that we’ve captured an image of a real person in front of a camera, not a spoof through an automated bot, mask or photo.
Accurate data extraction
We use OCR technology, NFC chip reading and our expert security team to accurately extract data from thousands of ID document types from over 200 countries and territories.
Document authenticity check
Our hybrid approach uses both automatic and manual processes to check the security features of each unique ID document to make sure it’s genuine.
Biometric face match
We compare the scan of the user’s face captured during liveness to their ID document photo to confirm that the ID document belongs to the user.
A radical new approach to storing and protecting data
Our systems are architected using PKI technology, which means a user’s data can only be accessed by the user.
- Separately encrypted details
Any details a user adds to their digital ID are split up, individually encrypted and safely stored in Yoti’s database. Users are in control to share specific details, rather than sharing their whole ID.
- Only accessible by the user
Only the user has the key to unlock their encrypted details. This key is stored safely on their phone and not on the Yoti database. - Request only the details you need
Your customers will feel safe sharing less data and you can ensure you’re complying with the GDPR principle of data minimisation.
Integration
Choose the implementation that suits your business
- No-code portal
Tailored to small and medium businesses, the Yoti-hosted portal is suitable for low-volume checks. With no integration necessary, you can send your customers to the portal with a simple link where they will scan a QR code or tap a button to share their pre-verified details with you.
- Integrated verification
Our SDK can be seamlessly integrated into your website, app or kiosk. Customers simply scan a QR code or tap a button in your flow to share their pre-verified details with you.
Our partnership
A new era of identity services in the UK
We’ve joined forces with Post Office to make identity services more accessible for people across the UK -– starting with the Post Office EasyID app. Harnessing the same robust technology as Yoti Digital ID, customers can use either app to verify themselves with your organisation.
“A secure digital ID system is fundamental to providing integrated, online services and supporting the modernisation of Jersey’s public sector. Yoti’s technology will enable islanders to prove who they are so they can safely access government services online.”
Senator Ian Gorst – former Chief Minister of Jersey
