Overview
The DID Registry Service is part of the walt.id Enterprise Stack. It enables services and users to list and resolve registered DID:web identifiers stored in the enterprise infrastructure. It acts as a lightweight registry and resolution layer, delegating storage responsibilities to the DID Store Service.
Capabilities
The DID Registry Service provides:
- Listing of all registered DID:webs.
- Resolution of a specific DID:web to its did.json document.
✅ Note: This service does not generate or persist DIDs directly — those responsibilities belong to the DID Service Service and DID Store .
DID registry levels
The DID Registry Service can operate at two levels:
1. Organization Level: The DIDs it manages are scoped to the entire organization. This means that the DIDs it manages are not limited to a specific tenant. They are useful for representing entities that manage or oversee multiple tenants within the Enterprise stack.
2. Tenant Level: The DIDs it manages are scoped to a specific tenant within the organization. When you create a DID using the DID Service, it will be associated with the tenant in which the DID Registry Service is set up.
