Issuance with Credence gives government agencies everything needed to issue digital credentials citizens can carry on their phone and present anywhere - built on open international standards, signed in validated hardware, and designed so no citizen or business gets left behind.
ISO/IEC 18013-5 · W3C VC 2.0 · OpenID4VCI · ICAO 9303 · FIPS 140-3 Level 3
Government services run on identity. Every licence renewal, benefit claim, permit, and border crossing starts with proving who someone is - and for decades that's meant paper, plastic, and in-person queues. Citizens expect better now. So do the regulators and the budget lines.
Three forces are pushing agencies to move, all at once.
Manual identity workflows quietly tax every agency that runs them. The costs are familiar because they've been tolerated for so long.
IwC changes what a citizen interaction with government costs - in time, in money, and in risk.
IwC is the platform that takes a citizen from enrollment all the way to a signed credential in their wallet - identity proofing, human review, cryptographic signing, and lifecycle management, in one system.
Applicants enroll through the wallet, their identity runs through six automated checks - text extraction, face match, liveness, document authentication, a system-of-record lookup, and a fraud screen - and a human reviewer makes the final call before anything is issued.
Define the attributes once; IwC produces both an ISO 18013-5 mDoc and a W3C VC 2.0 credential from that single source, in one issuance. One record to maintain. Every compliant wallet and reader reached.
Credentials go out over OpenID4VCI and land in hardware-backed storage on the citizen's device. Any conformant wallet can receive them - your own, ours, or an open-source build.
Manage every step of issuance and verification through one portal, backed by open APIs and ready-to-use tools.
Configure templates, issue credentials, and verify them from a single system - through the IwC Portal, the API, or the Verify with Credence tooling.
Issue and verify across apps, web, kiosks, and in-person hardware - the same credential works everywhere, on or offline.
Role-based approvals, audit logs, and configurable issuance and revocation policies turn credential governance into a reliable, repeatable process.
The half of the story people forget is what happens after a credential is issued. That's where a government program lives or dies - a citizen needs a simple, trusted way to hold and present a credential in the messy real world, long after enrollment day.
With IwC, any agency - a national ministry, a regional DMV, a city licensing office - issues credentials through one portal or a mobile app, with no cryptographic infrastructure to build first.
Because IwC is built on OpenID4VCI and the ISO and W3C credential standards, a citizen's wallet works across programs, and losing or replacing a device no longer means re-enrolling from zero.
IwC gives governments the tools to serve citizens across services and borders. By putting a trusted, standards-based credential in every citizen's hand, agencies give people the freedom to prove who they are - with confidence, privacy, and control.
