What is EasyID?
EasyID is a secure digital identity app that allows people to prove who they are using their phone, meaning there’s no need for passports or driving licences.
How businesses can use EasyID
If you run a shop, online store or service, EasyID can help make identity checks fast and simple. You can use it to:
- Check ages easily: Make sure customers are old enough to make over-18 purchases, including lottery tickets
- Prevent fraud: Verify identities with confidence to help keep your business safe
- Speed up sales: Skip manual ID checks, as EasyID can provide verification in seconds
- Verify online: If your business needs ID checks online, EasyID works there too
EasyID has been approved by the UK Government for checking individuals’ DBS record, right to work and right to rent.
How customers can use EasyID:
Over five million people in the UK now have a digital ID through services like Post Office EasyID. This means more people than ever have a secure way to prove who they are, right from their phone.
Customers can also use EasyID to store digital, verified copies of their passport, driving license and other photo ID. They can even securely keep important details like their National Insurance number (NiNo) and NHS number, so they’ve always got them to hand when they need them.
Is EasyID safe?
Yes, EasyID keeps customer data identity secure. It encrypts and safely stores customer identity details on the EasyID app, so you can verify customers with confidence. Once verified, customers don’t need to repeat the process, making transactions quicker. Customers only share the information they need to with businesses, whether it’s their age or identity, without sharing more than necessary.
