Capture documents

Verify 1000s of documents from nearly 200 countries.

Verify constantly

We gate every action with biometric checks so your KYC is updated with every login.

Trust your users

Users hold their data, Self gives you access to it. Cryptography and biometrics means you can trust it.

Possibilities

We think physical world identity has its place, but with government digital identity reducing the relevance of paper documents and most of our credentials taken by hackers it's time to rethink. Our prototypes tell you that your user is, we leave it to them to prove and reveal who they are. Identity isn't a product, we think verifying it should be free and users should control their identity. These tools blend this new reality with the ability to check legacy credentials.

Real Trust

User Instigated Document Verification

Users create Verifiable Credentials from their documents and can choose to share them securely with relying parties

Broad Document Acceptance

Users can verify chip-enabled passports and check thousands of other documents from nearly 200 countries.

Reusable Biometric Verification

Self gates all verifications with biometrics, and can make them part of every interaction without needing to re-check a document.

Research

Secure in Name Only

Exploring how metaphors like “vaults,” “keys,” and “wallets” shape our sense of safety—and the risks that confidence creates.

Are we getting closer to a true identity layer?

Initiatives like W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are moving us toward an identity layer

The internet was built for machines not people

The internet has no built-in identity layer — it only knows devices and keys, not people. Everything we call “online identity” is an application-level patch, and that’s why the web’s trust and security problems are so persistent.‍
