· Add personal details by scanning a government-issued ID (passport, driving licence, PASS card, or national ID from over 200 countries)
You’re in Control of Your Data
You choose which details to share—and with whom. Businesses are encouraged to request only the necessary data, and your personal details never leave your phone without your permission.
Keeping Your Details Safe
Post Office EasyID uses secure encryption provided by identity experts Yoti to protect your data. All your personal information stays on your phone and is protected by your PIN or fingerprint. Post Office cannot access, mine, or sell your data—and we never will. EasyID is free to use because businesses, not users, cover the cost.
