Industry problem

## Every checkpoint asks for the same documents in a different format.

Passports are re-scanned at check-in, security, and boarding. Visas live in emails. Frequent flyer identity is siloed per alliance. Delays cascade from a single mismatch.

* Average international traveler is re-identified 6–8 times per journey.
* Visa verification failures are a leading cause of boarding denial.
* Passenger biometric programs are fragmented per airport and per airline.

iDen2 solution

## A single presentation for the whole journey.

One wallet holds mobile driving license, digital passport, ticket, visa, and payment. Every checkpoint verifies the bundle in under a second, online or offline.

* ISO 18013-5 mobile driving license support.
* IATA-aligned digital travel credentials.
* Selective disclosure, prove age, visa status, or loyalty tier.
* Offline verification at gates and immigration.
