Think about how many platforms have asked you to upload your passport, driver's license, or national ID in the last two years. Freelance platforms. Crypto exchanges. Marketplaces. Rental apps. Gig economy platforms.
Now think about how many of those platforms you still actively use.
Your documents are sitting on servers you no longer think about — controlled by companies you may no longer trust.
What Happens to Your ID After You Upload It
When you upload your ID to a platform:
- It is stored on their servers, often indefinitely
- It may be shared with third-party verification providers
- It is subject to their data breach risk
- You have no control over how long they keep it
- You cannot delete it once submitted in most cases
Data breaches at major platforms have exposed millions of identity documents. Once your passport is leaked, there is nothing you can do about it.
The Alternative: Credential Sharing
Certiva's model works differently.
You verify your identity once with Certiva. We issue you an IRN — a unique credential number. After that, whenever a platform asks to verify your identity, you share only your credential number.
The platform visits Certiva's public registry, confirms your credential is valid, and that is it. They never see your passport. They never see your name in full. They never see your date of birth.
You remain verified. Your documents remain private.
The Comparison
The old way: You → Upload passport to App A → Upload passport to App B → Upload passport to App C
Your data now lives on three servers you do not control.
The Certiva way: You → Verify once with Certiva → Share your IRN credential number
One verification. Infinite proof. Zero document exposure.
