Google Wallet (Preview)

⚠️

Preview provider

Google Wallet is available only as a preview provider, and therefore it isn't suitable for production verifications.

A preview provider will not be enabled automatically if your App turns on the "allow all available providers" switch, unless you had already enabled it manually before flipping the switch.

In select states, you can add your Driver's License to Google Wallet and use it at participating TSA checkpoints and now in remote verification scenarios. Google also has a beta feature allowing people to add a passport to their wallet creating a credential that can be utilized at TSA. Trinsic’s platform allows you to seamlessly verify Google Wallet credentials alongside your existing identity verification flows.

User Flow

To see an example: watch this video.

The Google Wallet verification flow works on mobile and desktop. On desktop, users are presented a QR code which they scan in order to open the Google Wallet application. On mobile, the user clicks a button which deep-links them to their Google Wallet application. In both cases, the user is taken to their mobile app where they complete a biometric authentication and consent to share the requested data.
