What types of identity documents can be verified on the Proof Platform?

The Proof Platform is designed to verify a range of identity documents that are commonly recognized and accepted for establishing an individual's identity. Among these, government-issued IDs, passports, and driver's licenses play a crucial role as they come with standardized security features and are widely acknowledged in various contexts, such as travel, banking, and accessing services. Biometric data further enhances identity verification by adding an additional layer of security that is personal and difficult to forge.

The selection of these document types ensures a high level of trust and reliability in the verification process. It also highlights the platform's focus on legitimate and official forms of identification that are typically required to validate personal identity in legal and security frameworks.

Other options may include documents that are recognized in certain contexts but do not meet the high standards of identity verification needed for the Proof Platform. For instance, credit cards and bank statements may provide some verification of an individual's financial status but are not primarily designed for identity verification. Similarly, while student IDs and health cards are important for their respective purposes, they may not have the same level of acceptance or security features as government-issued documents.
