Indicio Proven adds Digital Passport Credentials aligned to ICAO DTC-2 Specifications
SEATTLE / AUGUST 19, 2025 — Governments are now able to issue Digital Passport Credentials directly to their citizens using Indicio Proven. These credentials align with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) specifications for Digital Travel Credentials (DTC-2) that are government issued.
Indicio developed and successfully deployed the world’s first Digital Passport Credential which involved travelers deriving a Verifiable Credential from the electronic chip in their passport and combining it with face-mapping, liveness check, and document validation. This Digital Passport Credential aligned with ICAO DTC-1 specifications and allowed for preauthorized travel and seamless border crossing.
By combining authenticated biometrics in Verifiable Credentials, Indicio transformed portable digital identity and provided a simple way to mitigate the growing risks of biometric and AI-identity fraud. In recognition, Acuity Market Intelligence’s 2024 Prism Report described Indicio’s solution as “masterful.”
Indicio has now developed the next step in “government-grade” digital identity technology — Digital Passport Credentials that are issued directly by governments to accompany physical passports. These credentials follow the DTC-2 specifications outlined by ICAO.
A traveler is now able to carry a cryptographically secure digital passport on their smartphone, smartwatch, or fob linked to their existing physical passport. This can be instantly verified with simple software when crossing borders or presented anywhere across the travel ecosystem, including bookings, check-in, boarding, and hotel arrival.
“Our mission is to create digital identities that make life easier, safer, and more streamlined for everyone,” said Heather Dahl, CEO of Indicio. “We’ve shown how easy it is to create privacy-preserving, government-grade digital identity. We’ve shown the kinds of transformation this can achieve — the benefits to airlines, airports, and travelers that follow from having a fast and reliable way to streamline identity authentication. Now, we’re making it easy for governments to issue interoperable Digital Passport Credentials, secure borders, and welcome tourists.”
