# Credential Management

Use the Wallet API to list, view, import, and delete credentials stored in a user wallet.

## What is Credential Management?

Credential management covers operations on credentials already stored in a wallet, including:

- **Listing credentials** – View all credentials stored in a wallet
- **Retrieving credential details** – Get full details of a specific credential
- **Deleting credentials** – Remove credentials from the wallet (soft-delete or permanent)
- **Importing credentials** – Import signed JWT/SD-JWT credentials directly into the wallet

For a full list of endpoints, please refer to the [API Reference](https://wallet.demo.walt.id/swagger/index.html#/WalletCredentials).

## Getting Started

- [View a Credential](https://docs.walt.id/community-stack/wallet/credential-management/view-credential.md) – Retrieve the full details of a specific credential by ID.
- [Delete a Credential](https://docs.walt.id/community-stack/wallet/credential-management/delete-credential.md) – Soft-delete or permanently remove a credential from a wallet.
- [Import a Credential](https://docs.walt.id/community-stack/wallet/credential-management/import-credential.md) – Import a signed JWT or SD-JWT credential directly into a wallet.
