Identity verified from Authoritative Government Portals
Identity, Age, Citizenship every country. No ID uploads, no privacy law violations.
The problem with identity verification today
Every verification creates a copy of sensitive data. Every copy is a breach waiting to happen.
| Traditional (Doc + Selfie) | Reclaim Protocol | |
|---|---|---|
| User uploads government ID | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Selfie / biometric collected | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| PII stored on server | ✅ Yes. Retained up to 3 years | ❌ Never touches a server |
| Breach risk | 🔴 High. Data held on server | 🟢 Zero. There's nothing to leak |
| Spoofable by minors | 🔴 Yes. Screen scanning, AI-generated docs | 🟢 No. Proof comes from authenticated session |
| Requires app download | Sometimes | ❌ No. Works fully on browser |
| GDPR data minimization | ⚠️ Difficult. You typically hold more data than you need | ✅ By design. Only the absolutely required data is extracted |
How it works: 30 seconds. 3 steps.
User logs in
The user logs into a trusted source they already have an account with: a bank, mobile carrier, health portal, or government service. Reclaim never sees their credentials.
The data is extracted
Only the specific data point you need is selected — e.g., "age = 42". Nothing else is extracted. Nothing else is shared.
A cryptographic proof is generated
A zero-knowledge proof is created on the client's device, verifying the data came from the claimed source and hasn't been altered. The proof is cryptographically tied to the source's TLS certificate. Tamper-proof. Unforgeable.
Age verification: Prove you're an adult instead of proving you're "not a child"
Most adults already have accounts on trusted sources — a bank, a telco, a health portal, a tax authority. Reclaim Protocol uses those to verify the user's age.
