Frequently Asked Questions
A trusted provider (background check company, DMV, insurance company) issues the credential after verification. The worker stores it in their wallet and presents it to any platform.
The credential has an expiration date. When it passes, the credential stops verifying. The worker gets a new check and receives a fresh credential.
You configure which issuers you trust. If Platform A's background check provider is on your trust list, you accept credentials they issued. You're trusting the issuer, not the presenting platform.
Insurance credentials work the same way. The carrier issues a COI credential, the worker presents it, you verify coverage is current — all in real-time.
If a worker is deactivated for cause, the issuing platform can revoke their credential. That revocation is visible to all verifiers instantly.
