Government ID Stamp

The Government ID Stamp verifies your identity using a government-issued ID through Holonym (human.tech), leveraging zero-knowledge cryptography to preserve your privacy.

Quick Facts

Requirements

• A smartphone with a camera (for scanning your ID)
• A valid government-issued ID (passport, national ID card, or driver’s license)
• ~$5 for the verification fee

Step-by-Step Verification

1. Navigate to the Passport App and connect your wallet.
2. Select the Government ID Stamp.
3. You will be redirected to Holonym (human.tech) for identity verification.
4. Use your smartphone camera to scan your government-issued ID.
5. Complete the verification process as guided by Holonym.
6. A Soulbound Token (SBT) will be minted to your wallet on one of the supported networks.
7. The stamp will be added to your Passport.

Zero-Knowledge Privacy

This stamp uses zero-knowledge cryptography, which means:

• Your personal information from the ID is not stored by Passport or Holonym.
• The system only verifies that a valid government ID was presented, without retaining the underlying data.
• The proof is cryptographically verifiable without revealing your identity details.

Supported Networks

The SBT can be minted on any of the following networks:

• Ethereum
• Optimism
• Base
• Aurora
• Avalanche
• Fantom

Troubleshooting

• ID scan fails — Ensure good lighting and a clear, unobstructed view of your ID. Avoid glare and reflections.
• ID type not accepted — Only government-issued IDs (passports, national ID cards, driver’s licenses) are accepted.
• SBT not appearing — The minting transaction may take a few minutes to confirm. Check the transaction on the relevant network’s block explorer.
• Camera issues — Use a smartphone with a high-quality camera for best results.
