About Unum ID

Unum ID is the Verified Network. We provide a marketplace for verified identity data, shared with full user consent. You can use Unum ID for:

  • 1-Click or Free ID Verification: Either it's 1-click, or it's on us.
    • If a user has a digital ID card, they can verify with 1-click — instant onboarding.
    • Otherwise, the user completes your existing ID verification process, and we cover the cost.
  • Custom Digital ID Cards: We'll pay you for each card you issue.
    • You can offer digital ID cards to your users the next time they log in to your service, through marketing emails, or through in-app offers.
    • In each case, it takes just one API call.
