Every bank, every exchange, every platform makes you prove who you are from scratch. Same passport, same selfie, same 15 minutes — and at the end, you own nothing. The verification belongs to them. OpenKYC inverts that. You verify once, with a regulated provider. The result is a credential that lives in a wallet on your own device — not on our servers, not on theirs. When a site needs to know you're over 18, you prove exactly that fact and nothing else. Not your name, not your birthdate, not which other sites you visit. We're built entirely on open standards — the same verifiable-credential stack behind the EU Digital Identity Wallet — so we work with the ecosystem, not against it. The first problem we're solving: age verification, where today's options force a choice between privacy and compliance. Nobody should upload a passport to prove a single yes/no fact. If you work in digital identity or compliance, or run a platform that needs age verification — talk to us.

About us
Identity verification is broken by design. You prove who you are to every platform separately — same documents, same selfie, same wait — and none of it carries over. Businesses pay for the same check again and again. Users hand over their most sensitive documents and own nothing in return. OpenKYC turns verification into something you do once and keep. You verify with a regulated KYC provider. The result is a verifiable credential stored in a wallet on your own device — never on our servers. When a website needs to confirm a single fact, like whether you're over 18, you present cryptographic proof of exactly that fact and nothing more. No name, no birthdate, no record of which sites you visit. For platforms, this means verification in seconds instead of minutes, at a fraction of the cost, with zero personal data to store or protect. For users, it means privacy that's structural, not promised. We're built entirely on open standards — W3C Verifiable Credentials, OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance and Presentation, SD-JWT — the same stack behind the EU Digital Identity Wallet. Our first focus is age verification in the EU, where regulation is tightening and current solutions force a choice between privacy and compliance. Own Your Identity. Monetize Your Trust.
