How Credlyr Works

Verify identities in minutes,
not days

Credlyr makes it easy to verify user credentials using the latest verifiable credentials standards. Integrate once, verify forever.

The Verification Flow

1

Your App Creates Request

Call our API to create a verification request. We return a hosted URL or QR code.

2

User Shares Credentials

User scans QR with their wallet app and approves sharing their verified credentials.

3

Instant Verification

We verify the credential cryptographically and return the validated claims to your app.

      "name",
      "dob",
      "address"
    ],
    "assurance_level": "substantial"

Step 2

Configure Your Verification Policy

  • Pre-built policy templates
  • Set assurance levels
  • Configure trusted issuers
Step 3

Create a Verification Request

When a user needs to verify their identity, make a simple API call. We return a hosted URL you can redirect to or display as a QR code.

  • Single API call
  • Branded hosted page included
  • QR code for mobile wallets
create-verification.sh
curl -X POST https://credlyr.com/api/v1/verifications \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "policy_id": "pol_abc123",
    "return_url": "https://yoursite.com/done"
  }'

# Response:
{
  "verification": {
    "id": "ver_xyz789",
    "status": "pending",
    "hosted_url": "https://credlyr.com/v/ver_xyz789"
  }
}

User scans with their wallet app

Step 4

User Completes Verification

The user visits your hosted page, scans the QR code with their digital identity wallet, and approves sharing their credentials. No passwords, no document uploads.

  • Works with any OID4VP wallet
  • User controls their data
  • Instant cryptographic verification
Step 5

Receive Verified Claims

Once the user approves, we verify the credential cryptographically and send you the validated claims via webhook or API polling.

  • Real-time webhooks
  • Cryptographically verified
  • Audit trail included
webhook-payload.json
{
  "event": "verification.approved",
  "data": {
    "id": "ver_xyz789",
    "status": "approved",
    "output_claims": {
      "name": "Jane Smith",
      "dob": "1990-05-15",
      "address": "123 Main St, NYC"
    },
    "completed_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
