Create a Reusable Digital ID
Yoti ID turns identity setup into a guided mobile process. Users begin by giving consent, adding a mobile number, and creating a five-digit PIN that protects the account. They can then complete a face scan and add a supported government identity document, allowing verified personal details to become part of a reusable digital ID rather than a form that must be completed again for every service.
Once the setup is complete, the identity stays available on the phone for future requests. This workflow suits people who regularly need to confirm who they are for online services, workplace credentials, or age-restricted activities, while the step-by-step account screen makes the next required action clear.
Prove Age or Identity Selectively
The main value of Yoti ID is proving a specific fact without automatically presenting every detail from a physical document. Users can confirm their identity or age to participating businesses and individuals, either through an online request or an in-person interaction. A digital age card can provide the needed result for supported situations while keeping unrelated information out of the exchange.
Sharing is designed around user choice. A request shows which details a recipient needs, and the user decides whether to approve it. QR codes and mobile sharing flows help connect the app to accepting services, making it useful when a person needs a quick identity check, proof of age, or another verified attribute.
Store and Share Digital Credentials
Yoti ID can hold more than the details taken from a personal identity document. Participating organisations may issue digital credentials such as staff, student, membership, or other verified cards to the account. Keeping these credentials on the same phone gives users a convenient place to present an on-screen card or share the required information when an organisation needs to confirm their status.
After a completed share, receipt information helps users understand what was provided and when. This creates a clearer record than repeatedly handing over copies of a full document. People who move between work, education, retail, and online-service checks can reuse the relevant credential while choosing the minimum details for each interaction.
Protect Access and Manage Reminders
Account protection begins with the five-digit PIN created during setup and can also use supported phone biometrics for convenient access. Identity details are encrypted, and the private key needed to unlock them remains tied to the user's device. These controls matter because the app may hold sensitive personal attributes that should not be available to anyone who simply picks up the phone.
Yoti ID also offers reminders for practical events such as identity-document expiry and credential approvals. Users can decide whether to enable notifications, while Android settings provide separate controls for permissions, supported links, background data, storage, and battery use. Together, these options help people balance timely identity updates with their preferred device settings.
