Proof Digital ID

The short answer: You can create your Proof Digital ID directly from your dashboard at any time — no completed transactions required. Once created, future transactions only require a quick selfie instead of the full identity verification process.

What is a Proof Digital ID?

When you create your Digital ID, Proof stores your verified credentials so you can skip the full verification process in future transactions. Instead of completing credential analysis and selfie comparison each time, you verify with a quick selfie — saving time every time.

How to create your Proof Digital ID

There are two ways to create your Digital ID. Choose the one that applies to you:

+ Option A: Create from your dashboard (anytime)

You can create your Digital ID at any time directly from your Proof dashboard — no prior transactions required.

1. Log into app.proof.com and open your account menu.

2. Select Create my Digital ID, then select Get started.

3. Verify your phone number using the 6-digit code sent to you.

4. Capture your primary government-issued ID, then take a selfie.

5. Confirm the extracted ID information and select Continue.

6. Select Save my Digital ID.

Your Digital ID card will appear in your dashboard sidebar once created.

+ Option B: Create during a transaction (after 4 completed transactions)

After completing 4 transactions on Proof and passing IAL2 identity verification, you'll be prompted to save your identity at the end of your next transaction.

When prompted, select the option to save your identity. Proof will confirm your IAL2 verification — including credential analysis and selfie comparison — before issuing your Digital ID card.

Using your Digital ID for future transactions

Once your Digital ID is created, you won't need to repeat the full IAL2 process for future transactions. Instead, verify your identity using multi-factor authentication and a selfie photo.
