Create a credential template

A document type is the template behind a credential: what it represents, which claims it carries, and in which formats it can be issued.

What a document type holds


Identity	Name, slug, issuing authority, version
Claims	The attributes a credential of this type carries
Variants	One per format — SD-JWT VC (a `vct`) or mdoc (a `doctype` and namespace)
Binding	How the holder's key is bound, and which wallet proof types are accepted

A document type can be global — a catalogue entry such as PID, mDL or Age Verification, shared across the platform — or scoped to your organization.

Getting one

Document types are provisioned by LutraID, not created from the dashboard. The organization API exposes them read-only.

To add one for your organization, get in touch with the claims you need, the format or formats, and the authority the credential is issued under. Standard EUDI types are already in the catalogue and need no setup.

Then what

A document type is not issuable on its own. Put it in an issuance template and assign that to an issuer.
