How do verifiable credentials work?
Each verifiable credential is a signed container of identity data from an authoritative source (Issuer) that an individual or entity (User) can choose to share with another entity (Verifier).
Capabilities
Verified ID empowers you to confidently issue and verify workplace credentials, education status, certifications, or any unique identity attributes. Here is how.
- Easy setup and deployment
- Create and issue Verified IDs
- Verify credentials
- Suspend or invalidate credentials
Easy setup and deployment
Start issuing and accepting Verified ID in minutes with a few simple steps using verifiable credentials management in the Microsoft Entra portal.
Create and issue Verified IDs
Customize and configure Verified IDs for individuals using a prebuilt template or your own rules and design files.
Verify credentials
Enable interactions that respect individuals’ privacy. Validate a Verified ID credential with their approval through a request via the wallet on their smart device.
Suspend or invalidate credentials
Credentials remain in the individual’s possession, but issuers can suspend or revoke the active status of these credentials, meaning they’ll no longer be verified as valid by the issuer.

Diagram illustrates the participation of three parties in a verifiable credentials interaction. This solution automates verification of identity credentials and claims.
The verifier is an organization that requests proof and upon receipt verifies that claims in credentials satisfy requirements.
The user receives and approves the request for credentials obtained from issuer and presents to verifier. The credential claims are cryptographically signed with the user’s private key.
The issuer is an organization that attests to claims and grants digitally signed credentials to the user.
An ecosystem of organizations, workplaces, governments, schools, institutions, and individuals act as trusted issuers and verifiers for verifiable credentials, with users granting permission and managing access through their digital wallet.
