Company mission

To make an identity verification toolkit that works for the 1 in 5 people who struggle to pass traditional ID checks.

75% female employees

Our take

VouchSafe, spearheaded by Interrobang and supported by the Scottish Government's CivTech program, addresses the pressing issue facing millions in the UK: the lack of accessible means to prove one's identity. With over 11M individuals in the UK lacking traditional identity documents like passports or driving licenses, many are left excluded from essential services such as banking, healthcare, and government assistance.

VouchSafe revolutionises the identity verification process by leveraging trusted relationships rather than relying solely on physical documents. By embracing digital vouching, where one individual vouches for another's identity, VouchSafe provides a more inclusive approach to establishing digital identities. This not only streamlines access to vital services but also circumvents the financial barriers associated with acquiring traditional identity documents.

With plans for further development and partnerships in public and charity sectors, VouchSafe is primed for expansion beyond Scotland's borders. By championing accessibility and affordability in identity verification, VouchSafe not only transforms individual lives but also contributes to larger societal goals of equity and inclusivity.
