Passwave Explained
Passwave is a reusable way to verify identity online. You provide the bare minimum of personal data, and none of it gets logged or stored.
Verify once and you can pass age gates on any website which accepts it.
There’s no record of the websites you visit
Websites can’t leak or sell your sensitive data because they don’t see it
Passwave itself never sees your ID documents

What’s the catch?
It costs you €3 per year. This isn’t for our profit. It covers the fee charged by ID verification providers — and it guarantees the privacy of your data. We should explain...
Website operators, large and small, pay outside providers for verification services. They manage the cost by:
Holding onto data for marketing purposes, or for training AI models
Being big enough to afford it
Selling your personal data to third parties
Passwave does none of these things. Firstly, we believe you should have control of your data. Secondly, there’s nothing to sell. We don’t store your data.
But we must pay providers for verification, hence the €3 per year.
Less hassle, more choice
Forget about uploading your ID everywhere. It’s a privacy nightmare. Passwave only needs a selfie, a photo ID scan and about 3 minutes of your time.
Plus, you can choose which outside provider verifies your ID. We give you a choice of recommended, carefully selected verification companies. All recommended providers delete your data almost immediately after verification.
