Digital Credentials Provisioning API

Google's Digital Credentials Provisioning API enable identity providers to provision and manage digital credentials in Google Wallet on Android.

Unparalleled scale

3 Billion users globally, representing 70% of all smartphone holders, own and use Android phones. Offer equal access opportunities to your citizens.

Increased Adoption

Many Android users already use Google Wallet for payment, transit, tickets and more. By provisioning IDs to Wallet, users will be able to leverage one app to keep all of their essentials, rather than need to install a new app just for their ID.

Privacy and Security

Take advantage of Google's advanced security infrastructure. We provide a direct, private, and secure connection between the issuer and the user. Our design promotes privacy by preventing user tracking.

Standardized Approach

We enable interoperability by adhering to the following international provisioning and presentation standards:

ISO 23220-4
NIST 800-63
ISO 18013-5

Best of Google's Technology

Bring the best of Google's technology to your users. Our machine learning models help create a seamless user experience during provisioning. We detect data collection issues, such as image blurriness, in real time and help users create a perfect submission the first time - reducing operational expenses and user churn. We also have sophisticated ML models to prove that the identity requester is alive and presenting their natural face, to protect against spoofing. We provide state of the art image quality and liveness checks, providing issuers with all the tools they need to make an issuance decision

Multiple Authentication options

We offer issuers the ability to authenticate their users in multiple ways, depending on how much assurance they need to proof the user. (e.g. face match, letter sent to address on file, virtual visit, etc.)

Control Lifecycle

A user's privileges are not static, and neither are we. We allow issuers to change details on provisioned digital identities in real time. Need to revoke driving privileges? Update user addresses? Google has the APIs to support that.
