It also works for QR code images sent by email or chat. ■ Scan history always at hand Every scan is saved to your history automatically, so you can reopen links, websites and text anytime.

Nomi · Digital Credentials

Nomi — Credentials that live with you. Nomi is the native app that works alongside the Nomi Console, a platform that enables organizations to issue, manage, and verify digital credentials. From a single app, you can manage IDs, access passes, memberships, tickets, diplomas, certificates, and badges, add them to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and verify their authenticity in seconds. VERIFY WITH CONFIDENCE Scan a credential’s code and instantly check its status: active, suspended, revoked, or expired. Nomi shows who issued the credential and lets you verify the issuer’s identity through its verified domain. It also distinguishes between a credential that does not exist and a verification request that could not be completed due to a lack of connectivity. ISSUE WITHOUT TYPING Credentials are generated from information already registered within the organization. Select the credential, choose the recipient, and review the information before issuing it. If any required information is missing, Nomi identifies it before the process is completed. DIRECTLY TO APPLE WALLET Add credentials to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet directly from Nomi, and make them available to your users through their corresponding links. People can carry their IDs, memberships, access passes, certificates, and other digital documents where they need them most: on their iPhone and Apple Watch. DESIGN WHAT YOU ISSUE Create and manage templates for credentials and academic recognitions. Preview the result while configuring the design, colors, fields, and information that will appear on each credential. On iPad, Nomi takes advantage of a large-screen interface, keeping the canvas and editing tools available at the same time. DESIGNED FOR APPLE PENCIL On iPad, Apple Pencil lets you work directly on your documents and designs. Sign diplomas, write by hand, and use editing tools without interrupting your workflow. FOR THOSE WHO INTEGRATE Nomi also includes tools for connecting credential issuance with an organization’s existing systems. Manage webhooks, retries, connectors, automatic issuance rules, API keys, and permissions, along with decentralized identity capabilities. Technical tools are available within the platform without interfering with the workflows of people who simply need to issue or verify credentials. WORKS OFFLINE Previously performed verifications can remain available when there is no connection. Nomi indicates when the information was retrieved and automatically updates the data when connectivity is restored. DESIGNED FOR EVERY DEVICE Nomi is a native experience for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Each device has an interface adapted to its screen and the way it is used. NOMI AND THE CONSOLE This app is a companion to the Nomi Console. Your Nomi account is created and managed by your organization. This app does not allow users to independently create new accounts.
