Set up your vault

In the Truid app, you will have a personal vault (identity wallet) where your uploaded and verified data is securely stored and can be reused. All data in the vault is encrypted, with keys stored on your device, ensuring that no one can access it without your consent.

To set up your vault, the first step is to read and accept Truid’s terms of use, then create a PIN to protect your data.

Build your identity

 

The steps in “Building your identity” could differ depending on what type of contact- and identity data the service is requesting.

Typically services ask for an ID document and email or phone number.

1

Scan your ID document

 

Select the type of document you want to use: Passport, ID Card or Driving License. We recommend using an ID document with a chip, as it is more secure and provides a more seamless user experience.

Documents with an integrated RFID chip typically display this symbol:  

The app will need permission to use your camera to capture the document. Ensure the front page of the document fits within the square on the camera screen, and you should see a green frame like in the example image.

The most common reasons we may fail to read the document are glare and poor lighting, which can make it difficult to capture all the necessary data. We highly recommend that you try again.

Perform face match and liveness check


  • Fit your face in the circle, the first step is to get the distance right.
  • Follow instructions and look at the black circle around the camera, it will be complete when the distance is right.
  • Ensure nothing is covering parts of your face, like hats or bangs over your eyebrows.
  • Move your head slowly and only make small movements towards the purple color.
  • Keep a natural facial expression with your mouth closed and eyes open.
