How It Works

Getting started with myID is simple. Your digital credentials are designed to work seamlessly across borders with privacy and security built in.

Install & Verify Your Identity

Download the myID app, scan your passport or national ID with NFC, and complete biometric enrollment. Your identity is cryptographically secured from day one.

Collect Your Credentials

Receive government-issued credentials like EUDI PIDs, mobile driver licenses (mDL), and digital travel credentials (DTC). All stored securely with selective disclosure controls.

Present When Needed

Share credentials via QR code, NFC tap, or online presentation. Only reveal what's required - prove you're over 18 without sharing your birth date.

Use Advanced Features

Sign documents with qualified electronic signatures (QES), authenticate with passkeys, manage consent tokens, and access services across Africa.

Why Cross-Border Identity Matters

In a connected Africa, your identity shouldn't stop at the border. myID Africa enables trusted interactions across the continent.

Four international credential presentation stacks: EUDI/eIDAS2, ISO 18013-5 mDL, ICAO DTC via VDS-NC, and W3C VC/DID with OIDC4VP

Government Choice: One or More Stacks

Each government or regional economic community can deploy one or more credential presentation stacks depending on their policy goals, existing trust infrastructure, and target use cases:

  • EUDI/eIDAS 2.0 and ISO 18013-5 mDL provide strong trust frameworks and issuer provenance, ideal for domestic regulated services and international mutual recognition where policy alignment exists.
  • ICAO DTC via VDS-NC offers a proven near-term path for travel credentials with offline-verifiable digital seals, requiring minimal verifier ecosystem changes at border crossings.
  • W3C Verifiable Credentials with OIDC4VP enable flexible interoperable online verification flows, practical for rapid deployment across diverse relying parties.

Citizens control presentation of their credentials. There is no single central global database.
