Notarize partners with IDEMIA for portable credentials
Notarize
This partnership shows Proof is moving from one time identity checks into a portable identity network that can be reused across many transactions. In practice, IDEMIA does the hard part of proving a person is real through document, biometric, and liveness checks, then Proof turns that result into a cryptographically signed credential that can be presented again for KYC, payments, or enterprise access without repeating the full onboarding flow each time.

The important product shift is from video session based notarization to credential based trust. Proof already offers a reusable identity flow where a user can save a verified identity and later reverify with a face scan instead of repeating full IAL2 document and selfie checks, which lowers friction and makes identity portable across workflows.

IDEMIA brings government grade identity proofing and fraud controls. Its platform verifies IDs, checks embedded document security features, and runs liveness detection to stop spoofing, which makes the combined system useful not just for signing documents but for higher risk cases like account opening, sanctions screening, and identity affirmed payments.
-
The broader pattern is that digital identity is becoming a reusable credential layer, not a separate check inside each app. Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Microsoft Entra Verified ID are pushing portable credentials at the device and enterprise layer, so Proof is positioning its PKI network as the trust and authorization rail underneath regulated business transactions.
Going forward, the winners in identity will be the companies that can get a credential accepted by many relying parties, not just issue it once. If Proof can turn notarization, KYC, and fraud prevention into one shared credential network, it can expand from a workflow tool into infrastructure that sits underneath financial services, government, and enterprise verification.
