Welcome to a community of trusted organizations

Merit is the only interoperable ecosystem for all digital credentials issued by trusted organizations, and we work with everyone. Bridging data and trust gaps between and among government, companies, organizations, and individuals, digital credentials (known as merits™) make it easy for credential issuers to create, continuously update, and share secure, portable credentials with recipients and verifiers.

Who is Merit for?

Agencies at the local, state, and federal level issuing and verifying trusted credentials

Issuers and verifiers of credentials; future potential to offer opportunities to eligible recipients

Issuers and verifiers including associations, trade unions, educational institutions, non-profits; future potential to offer opportunities to eligible recipients
