The problem

A Badge Does Not Prove Who Someone Is

Impostors borrow the name of a real company or office to collect money, take personal details or promise jobs. Your name carries the damage, and people have no quick way to ask you whether it is true.

Fraudulent Collections

Money paid to someone who never worked for you.

Impersonation

A stranger using your name at someone's door.

Stolen Personal Information

Households handing over documents and phone numbers.

Lost Trust

Real staff turned away because nobody can tell them apart.

How it works

Three Steps, on the Phone You Already Have

The organisation gives each person an ID with a code and a QR code, tied to their own phone and PIN.

1

Enter the Code or Scan the QR Code

Use the code printed on the ID, or scan its QR code. No app to install.

2

The Person Approves With Their PIN

They approve on their own phone and read out a short confirmation code.

3

Enter Their Code, See the Details

Only then do you see the name, role, photo and what they are authorised to do.

Illustration. Names and codes are made up. The organisation sees every check and every impostor report.

Why the PIN matters

A Copied Card Is Not Enough

Approval needs the person's own phone and their PIN. A photo of an ID, or a card passed to someone else, cannot approve a check. If the person does not approve, you see nothing, and the details stay hidden.

Where it helps

Built for People Who Act in Someone Else's Name

A Lender

A borrower confirms the loan officer is really from the lender before sharing documents.

A Recruitment Agency

A job seeker confirms the recruiter is authorised before paying a fee or sending papers.

A Savings Group

Members check the collector at the door before handing over a contribution.

A Delivery or Sales Company

Customers confirm the agent at the gate works for the company.

A Charity or Public Office

Households confirm that the survey or outreach visitor is genuine.

Anyone Acting for Another

A person acting under a signed authority can show it and have it confirmed.

What we stand for

People Should Be Able to Verify Authority Before They Act on It

Authenticity

A person who says they represent you can show that you issued their credentials.

Transparency

People check the credential, and do not have to rely on a uniform, a confident manner or a paper badge.

Consent and Control

The representative approves each check, and only the details the check is meant to show are shown.

Accountability

You can review every check and respond to reports of impersonation.

Honest About What a Check Means

What a Check Confirms

  • The organisation issued this ID.
  • The person approved this check on their own phone.
  • The role the organisation gave them.

It does not confirm that someone is honest or that a deal is safe.

Questions

Does the public pay to check?

No. Checking is free for the public. Organisations pay for the IDs and the tools to manage them.

What does the person I am checking have to do?

They get a request on their own phone and approve the check with their PIN. If they do not approve, you see nothing.

Do I need an app or an account?

No. Type the code, scan the QR code on the ID, or use USSD. It works on any phone.

What if I think someone is an impostor?

Use Report an impostor on the home page. The organisation is alerted.

What happens to my details?

We use them only to run the check. The privacy page explains how, in plain words.
