Dentity

United States

Dentity is a digital identity platform that lets people create a verified identity once and reuse it across the services they sign up for. Rather than being a government-issued national ID, it is a private, standards-based scheme built on W3C verifiable credentials and decentralised identifiers, so the person holds their credential in a wallet and chooses which attributes to share.

What is Dentity?

Dentity is a digital identity platform that lets people create a verified identity once and reuse it across the services they sign up for. Rather than being a government-issued national ID, it is a private, standards-based scheme built on W3C verifiable credentials and decentralised identifiers, so the person holds their credential in a wallet and chooses which attributes to share.

To become verified, a person completes an identity check with a valid government-issued document and a liveness selfie. Once verified, they hold a reusable identity credential they can present to any business that accepts Dentity, sharing only the fields required for that transaction on their consent.

For a Zenoo flow, the person authenticates with Dentity and consents to share their verified identity credential. Zenoo receives the confirmed result and the attributes shared, then records them against the case.

How verification works

Person verifies once with Dentity

The person creates a verified identity by presenting a government-issued document and a liveness selfie, which Dentity holds as a reusable credential in their wallet.

Person shares the credential on consent

When they reach your flow, the person authenticates with Dentity and consents to share the verified attributes you need, such as name and date of birth.

Signals returned to your flow

A verified result, the shared identity attributes, and a full audit record flow straight into your Zenoo case.

What you can build

Reuse an existing verified identity to onboard a customer without repeating document capture.
Confirm a new customer's name and date of birth before a financial account goes live.
Verify buyers and sellers on a marketplace before they transact.
Check that an applicant is a real, verified person during account sign-up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify a Dentity identity?

The person authenticates with their Dentity wallet and consents to share their verified identity credential. Zenoo then receives the confirmed result and the attributes shared, such as name and date of birth, with a full audit trail.

What data does Dentity return?

Dentity returns verified identity attributes that the person chooses to share, such as name and date of birth. Because it uses verifiable credentials, only the fields needed for the transaction are disclosed rather than the full underlying document.

Is Dentity a government-issued national ID?

No. Dentity is a private digital identity platform built on open standards, not a compulsory national scheme. People verify once with a document and selfie, then reuse the resulting credential across services that accept Dentity.

How does Dentity verification work with Zenoo?

It runs as a pre-built connector. The person authenticates with Dentity and consents to share their credential, and Zenoo returns a verified result with the shared attributes and a full audit record.
