Use cases
Anywhere a company currently proves something with a PDF, a scan, or a portal login, it can present a credential instead.
| Situation | Presented instead of |
|---|---|
| Onboarding with a bank or a marketplace | Registration extract, ownership structure, signatory list |
| Public procurement | Certificates of good standing, tax and social security clearances |
| Cross-border trade | Permits, licences, product certifications |
| Supply chain due diligence | Audit results, compliance attestations, sustainability claims |
| Signing on behalf of the company | A mandate proving the signatory may bind it |
| Receiving official post | A legally effective notification delivered to the wallet |
Why it is worth doing
The same three properties recur: the receiving party checks a signature instead of contacting the issuing register; the credential is machine-readable, so the check is instant; and it is recognized in every member state without translation or notarization.
Where it lands first
The near-term wins are the high-friction, high-repetition cases — onboarding and procurement — where the same company assembles the same dossier for a different counterparty every few weeks.
