What is a Digital ID
An officially recognised digital identity that lets a verified person access government and commercial services remotely.
A digital ID is issued after identity verification and gives the holder a trusted digital identity and a legally meaningful electronic signature. It is typically used by digital residency programs, government e-services, and regulated businesses to let international entrepreneurs, IT professionals, investors, freelancers, and cross-border companies interact with services online. A digital ID of this kind is not citizenship, permanent residency, or a residence permit — it is an official digital identity credential.
What Vellfi provides
Vellfi provides the Digital ID System as a technology and operations capability set: identity issuance and lifecycle workflows, electronic signature infrastructure, credential card products including card design and printing coordination, verification workflows, and APIs. Program scope, legal framework, and data responsibilities are defined by the operating authority and the customer agreement.
System & products
One identity core, a full product surface around it
Capability availability depends on program scope, technical requirements, customer eligibility, and applicable agreements.
Electronic signature
PKI-based electronic signatures so holders can sign documents remotely with verifiable, legally meaningful signatures under the program's legal framework.
Identity verification workflows
Document, biometric-capable, and risk-based verification steps at application and re-verification, coordinated with Vellfi eKYC capabilities.
KYC attestation for institutions
Let banks, payment institutions, and financial services rely on the digital ID during their own KYC and onboarding processes.
Company registration support
Workflow support that lets verified holders remotely register and administer companies where the operating framework allows it.
Government service integration
Integration interfaces towards tax systems, registries, and public e-services operated by the program authority.
Business services ecosystem
Connection points for accounting, legal, corporate services, and payment or banking partners in the program ecosystem.
Holder portal & wallet support
Web and mobile-friendly holder experience for credential access, signing, status, and renewals.
Credential cards
Physical and virtual credentials, including card face printing
The Digital ID System supports credential card products end to end — from card face design to secure personalisation — so a program can offer holders a tangible, verifiable credential alongside the digital identity.
- Card face design and artwork for program branding
- Card printing and secure personalisation coordination
- Chip personalisation with PKI keys and certificates
- Contactless (NFC) credential support
- Virtual companion credential for mobile use
- Issue, replace, renew, and revoke lifecycle handling
Production and security note
Card production, personalisation, and delivery are coordinated through controlled processes and vetted production partners. Key material is generated and protected in secure environments, and the physical credential remains bound to the same lifecycle status as the digital identity — a revoked digital ID invalidates its card.

Program model
A joint model between the operating authority and Vellfi
Digital identity and digital residency-style programs work best when the operating authority keeps legal and supervisory control while a technology partner builds and runs the platform.
Typically retained by the operating authority:
- Legal framework and program rules
- Official recognition of the digital identity
- Connection to official databases and public services
- Identity approval, data protection, and supervision
Where Vellfi can contribute:
- Building and operating the digital ID platform
- Credential products, card design, and printing coordination
- International outreach and applicant experience
- Technical operations and holder support
- Connecting banks, payment institutions, and business services
Program value
A well-run program can attract international entrepreneurs and companies without requiring physical relocation, and can generate sustainable revenue through application fees, renewals, signature services, company registration and maintenance, and ecosystem services — while supporting local banking, fintech, IT, legal, and accounting sectors and strengthening the program operator's international digital profile.
FAQ
Common questions before a service discussion
Is a digital ID the same as citizenship or residency?
No. A digital ID is an official digital identity credential. It does not grant citizenship, permanent residency, a residence permit, or a right to physically reside anywhere.
Who is a digital ID program typically for?
International entrepreneurs, IT professionals, investors, freelancers, and cross-border companies that want to access services, sign documents, and register or run companies remotely.
Do you provide physical cards?
Yes. The system supports credential card products including card face design, card printing and personalisation coordination, chip and NFC support, and lifecycle management bound to the digital identity.
Can the system integrate with existing government systems?
Yes. Integration interfaces towards official databases, tax systems, and public e-services are part of the platform design, subject to the operating authority's framework.
Is there an API sandbox?
Yes. Ecosystem partners get a test environment, documentation, and integration support for the verification, signature, issuance, and attestation APIs.
