Getting Started
The walt.id Verifier2 service enables organizations to verify digital identity credentials in a secure, privacy‑preserving and standards-compliant way. It is the next-generation verifier and the recommended option for new integrations.
The original verifier service, which supports Draft 14 and Draft 20 of the OID4VP specification, is deprecated and will be removed in Q2 2026. If you require documentation for it, see the existing Verifier documentation. For new projects, use Verifier2 instead.
Supported Standards
Based on the Enterprise Verifier2 service, Verifier2 supports the following standards:
| Credential Formats: | SD-JWT VC (IETF), W3C VC (v1.1+, v2.0), ISO 18013-5 mDL, ISO 23220 PhotoID |
| Credential Exchange: | OID4VP (Version 1.0), ISO/IEC 18013-7, Digital Credentials API |
| Signature Algorithms: | ed25519, secp256k1, secp256r1, RSA |
