With Azure AD verifiable credentials now available in public preview, Microsoft is collaborating with leading identity verification providers to improve verifiability and secure information exchange.

Once verified, these credentials can be used to prove an identity across different organizations to accelerate onboarding of users, secure access to apps or enable a more trustworthy credential recovery experience.

"We are delighted to collaborate with Microsoft in defining the future of digital identity and to be part of Microsoft's verified identity solution, enabling modern enterprises to add a critical layer of trust with decentralized and reusable digital identity," said Robert Prigge, Jumio CEO. When an end user performs an identity verification for the first time using Jumio and Azure AD verifiable credentials, a special digital certificate is created in the user's digital wallet.

Jumio Identity Verification empowers users to anchor their digital identity and verifiable credentials to a government-issued ID and a biometric selfie check.

Jumio has processed more than 300 million identity verifications and provides one of the best user experiences in the market with the highest levels of identity accuracy and assurance.

"Verifiable credentials will revolutionize the way we grant access to information," said Sue Bohn, Partner Director Program Management, Identity Division at Microsoft Corp. "Organizations will be able to verify identity information quickly with solutions like Jumio Identity Verification, while individuals will be able to own and control their credentials."
