Identity.com Launches Its Mobile App for Both Apple App Store and Google Play Store

San Francisco, CA, January 14, 2025 – Identity.com has announced the launch of its mobile application for both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The app offers a user-centric and privacy-preserving solution for managing digital identities, utilizing verifiable credentials (VCs) to empower individuals and streamline identity verification for businesses.

The Identity.com App provides a secure platform for storing and sharing VCs, enabling individuals to easily add trusted credentials, such as government-issued IDs or proof of uniqueness, to validate their identity. The app gives users complete control over their data, allowing them to share only the information necessary for specific interactions.

For businesses, the Identity.com App simplifies digital identity management by offering a streamlined and compliant method to verify users. The app eliminates the need for businesses to collect and store excessive personal information, reducing compliance risks and streamlining data management processes.

Here are a few examples of how the Identity.com App can be utilized by businesses:

Age-gated services: Confirm a user’s age for alcohol sales, online gambling platforms, or other products that are restricted based on age — without requiring access to unnecessary details like full birthdate or address.

Uniqueness verification: Prevent fraud or duplicate accounts by validating a user’s genuine presence online, which is essential for high-demand ticketing services or ensuring unique user access.

Streamlined onboarding: Simplify Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for platforms requiring identity verification, like financial services or ridesharing apps.

As the demand for secure identity solutions continues to rise, with over 299 million records compromised in data breaches in March 2024 alone — a 613% increase from the previous year — the Identity.com App addresses this critical need.

By ensuring that credentials are securely stored on users’ devices, the app provides a decentralized approach to digital identity management, giving individuals full control over their privacy. At the same time, it helps businesses avoid the risks associated with centralized storage of sensitive user data.

"Our digital identities are both valuable and vulnerable," said Phillip Shoemaker, Executive Director of Identity.com. "The Identity.com app empowers platforms to securely and efficiently verify users while minimizing data collection. By enabling selective sharing of information, businesses can enhance user trust, reduce compliance risks, and streamline identity management processes."
