# dewa verify

> Instant, cryptographic verification of digital IDs and EU Digital Identity Wallets — no app, no friction, no compromise.

dewa verify is an API that lets businesses verify a user's identity or age in seconds using existing digital identity providers. It is built and operated by dewa, a digital identity infrastructure company based in Copenhagen, Denmark, focused on the eIDAS 2.0 era and EU Digital Identity Wallets (EUDI).

## What dewa verify does

dewa verify lets a website or app trigger an identity check against a user's existing digital ID. The user authenticates with a provider they already have (e.g. e-Boks in Denmark, or any EUDI Wallet in the EU), and the relying party receives a cryptographic proof back — typically in under 2 seconds. No raw personal data is stored on dewa's end. For age verification, no birth dates are collected — only a yes/no answer.

Key properties:

- **Instant**: under 2 seconds end-to-end
- **No app required**: works in any browser; users use the digital ID they already have
- **GDPR by design**: minimum data, no storage of raw personal data, no birth dates collected for age checks
- **Cryptographic**: returns verifiable proof, not screenshots or self-attestations
- **Developer-friendly**: REST API + OAuth 2.0, webhook callbacks, integrate in an afternoon

## Supported digital identities

- **e-Boks Identity** (Live): Full identity verification via e-Boks, Denmark's national digital mailbox used by 5.9 million Danes (≈99% of adults).
- **e-Boks Age (18+)** (Live): Age gating without collecting birth dates. Returns a simple yes/no.
- **EUDI Wallets** (Compatible): dewa verify is compatible with all EU Digital Identity Wallets, including the wallets being rolled out in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and AltID.

## Use cases

- **Age-restricted content**: alcohol, gambling, adult content, vape/tobacco — verify 18+ without collecting birth dates
- **Customer onboarding / KYC**: replace manual KYC with instant cryptographic identity verification, reducing drop-off and fraud
- **Stronger login**: add a government-grade identity layer to existing sign-in flows
- **Access control**: grant access to physical or digital spaces based on verified identity, in real time

## How it works

1. Embed a verify button in your app or website. One API call starts the verification flow.
2. The user is redirected to their digital ID provider (e.g. e-Boks) and authenticates with credentials they already have.
3. You receive a cryptographic proof back via webhook or API response. Identity confirmed, age verified, or access denied.
