First responder credentials
Prove your qualifications. Get to work faster when it matters.
In emergency situations, first responders need to quickly and securely prove their identity and current qualifications to access certain areas, systems or roles.
No physical cards. No manual checks. Just a simple way to prove quickly when it matters.
How it could work
- 1
Receive your credential
A trusted organisation issues you a digital credential containing verified information about your role, qualifications and certifications.
- 2
Store it in your wallet
The credential is securely stored in your digital wallet and remains under your control.
- 3
Arrive at location
When arriving at an incident or a controlled site, you’re asked to prove the information required to gain access or take on a specific role.
- 4
Share what’s needed
You review what information is being requested and choose whether to share it.
- 5
Access and get to work
The organisation verifies that the information presented came from a trusted source and is valid. Once the normal requirements have been satisfied, you can gain access and get to work.
Why it matters
