Data Minimization
Only share the minimum information needed for each verification. You control what's disclosed.
How It Works
How It Works
myID Africa uses modern digital identity standards to enable secure, privacy-preserving verification across African borders.
Open standards
Built to interoperate
myID is engineered to align with the open international standards for digital identity, so credentials can be presented and verified across systems and borders.
Engineered to align with these standards; interoperability depends on deployment and the participating parties.
Cross-Border Verification Scenarios
Cross-Border Verification Scenarios
01
Smartphone to Smartphone
A Tanzanian verifies a Kenyan colleague using the myID app. The verification confirms identity without revealing unnecessary personal details.
02
Feature Phone Verification
A Nigerian merchant verifies a Ghanaian customer via USSD codes. Simple, accessible, and secure.
03
TD1 Slip Verification
At a border crossing, an agent scans the Aztec barcode on a physical TD1 slip, instantly verifying the holder's identity against the myID network.
04
Business API Verification
Organisations integrate with the myID API to verify customers programmatically during onboarding or transactions.
