KYC Digital Certificate Service for COVID-19 Testing
April 17, 2020
As the world finds itself in an unexpected and novel situation as a result of the current pandemic, there is much need for businesses, organizations and even social groups to determine whether individuals are COVID-19 free or not in order to mitigate risk to operations and to allow business to continue as much as humanly possible.
The difficult question is how to implement COVID-19 coronavirus screening and enable users with a clean bill of health to disseminate verified passes but at the same time maintain the privacy of individuals and ensure fraudulent passes are not being used.
Blockpass has a fast, efficient and private digital identity solution for onboarding individuals to a COVID-19 testing service, privately and securely. This will allow individuals to store, control and update their passed test credentials for dissemination to businesses, organizations, groups and events.

Blockpass COVID-19 testing verification process...
- the COVID-19 testing service is run by an authorised clinic who does the test.
- the clinic or organization doing the test can operate their service via the Blockpass KYC Connect® dashboard.
- the patient creates their digital identity profile via Blockpass’ gateway and then easily sends their digital identity profile to the clinic service, onboarding instantly - with the degree of identity document authentication and KYC verification that the clinic or testing customer requires.
- the individual takes COVID-19 test.
- the clinic will issue a COVID-19 certificate to the individual’s profile if they have taken the test and prove to be clear of infection.
- the user can prove they have taken the test by forwarding on the digital certificate that is stored in their digital identity profile.
- the user can update their COVID-19 certificate validity on a regular basis, by testing again and getting a new certificate issued.
