We are excited to announce the BETA release of Yivi Passport credentials!
This new feature allows users to securely store and manage their digital passports within the Yivi wallet, enhancing convenience and accessibility for travelers. With this release, Yivi expands its reach to a truly international audience.

Why Passport credentials?​

Passport credentials fill a critical gap on the road to EUDI wallets. While PID providers will take time to become available, people need a trusted way to prove their identity today. Yivi already offers high-quality personal data for Dutch citizens, but we also want to support an international audience.

Passports are the most widely accepted form of identification worldwide, making them a natural bridge. They also enable powerful, privacy-preserving use cases—such as open-source, age-verification flows—where only the minimum necessary information is shared.

How does it work?​

With support from the NLnet Foundation, we have integrated Machine Readable Travel Document (MRTD) support into Yivi.

Users can now add their digital passports to the Yivi wallet by:

1. Scanning the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) of their physical passport.
2. Reading the NFC chip of the passport with their phone.

The passport data is then validated through Passive Authentication against Dutch and German government-issued Masterlists of trusted passport issuers. In addition, Active Authentication is implemented to further strengthen security.

What’s available now?​

The following open source components are ready for testing and feedback:

• Example app for scanning and reading passports
• A Beta Yivi wallet version with support for storing and managing Passport credentials (available on request)
• API for validating Passport credentials against government-issued Masterlists
• OpenID4VP integration with Yivi for using Passport credentials in verifiable presentations, including a demo

This release supports both SD-JWT VC and Idemix credentials, available via the OpenID4VP and the IRMA protocol. Support for OpenID4VCI is planned, enabling passport credentials to be issued to a wider range of applications.

We strongly recommend using the Idemix version of the passport credentials, as it offers enhanced privacy. Especially for Age Verification, Idemix ensures that only the required information is shared, data exposure is unlinkable, and traceability is minimized.

Example DCQL query for requesting Passport credentials​

To demonstrate how to request a Passport credential using OpenID4VP, we have set up a demo verifier at https://verifier.openid4vc.staging.yivi.app/ using the Verifier Endpoint of the European Comission to showcase interoperability, below is a sample DCQL query that can be used to request a Passport credential.
