Public services: the decision behind the check
People need to distinguish an authentic government-issued record from a statement merely carrying an official-looking name. Combine record checks with the issuer’s actual authorization and the agency’s established review process.
Deployment, assurance, and jurisdiction-specific requirements should be agreed and validated before institutional use.

Public services: practical requirements
Who uses which workspace
A public agency needs an approved issuing identity, controlled staff access and a clear explanation of what the record represents. Configure organizational issuance in Console. Citizens or other recipients can inspect intentionally public evidence through Verify without receiving administrative access. A self-created issuer name is not proof that an agency has authorized it.
A focused acceptance exercise
Choose one permit or certificate workflow and define the official issuing authority. Test an issued record, a correction and a revocation. Review accessibility and privacy with the intended recipients. Do not publish personal application material just to make the verification example easier to demonstrate.
