Understanding Your Identity Wallet

An Identity Wallet is your secure, digital storage space for verified identity documents—like a virtual safe for digital copies of your driver's licence, passport, or other identification that have been verified to meet regulatory standards.

How Does It Work?

Your Identity Wallet stores verified copies of your identity documents in a secure, encrypted environment. Under Australian AML/CTF regulations, certain businesses must verify your identity before providing services, while others may request this as company policy. Your Identity Wallet streamlines this process by:

  • Eliminating repetition – Rather than supplying the same documents to multiple providers, simply grant permission through the platform and the provider will have access to your identity information cross-referenced against their unique compliance rules

  • Maintaining control – You decide who can access your information and you can revoke that access at any time

  • Reducing timeframes – Identity verification is completed in minutes rather than days

  • Securing your documents – Keep your verified documents in one secure location

  • Streamlining compliance – Provide confirmation to authorised parties that your identity meets their compliance requirements

Is It Secure?

Yes. Your Identity Wallet uses bank-level encryption and security protocols to protect your information. Your documents are stored securely and remain private. Authorised parties only receive confirmation details that your identity has been cross-checked against their compliance rules—they never see your actual documents. You maintain complete control over who can request verification.

Getting Started

To set up your Identity Wallet, you'll need to:

  1. Complete the initial identity verification process

  2. Upload the required identity documents

  3. Set up multi-factor authentication for additional security

  4. Review and approve document storage

Once set up, your wallet is ready to use across all services that require identity verification and utilise VerifiMe.
