IDFLOW
IDFlow Trust Verification Framework™

Trust is Not Claimed.
Trust is Verified.

Every person, business, institution and government department must prove who they are before receiving trust within the IDFlow ecosystem. The higher the trust level required, the stronger the verification requirements.

IDFlow Trust Levels™

Five distinct trust tiers. Each level demands higher verification than the last. No shortcuts. No exceptions.

Verification Requirements by Entity Type
