Your identity, verified once and reusable everywhere Ethos is accepted. Complete one check in under 30 seconds, then use your Ethos ID to get through the door, clear an age check, or sign in. No re-verifying at every business. No uploading your license again and again. Verify Once: Scan a government ID or passport, confirm it's you with a quick biometric check, and you're verified. Returning users are one tap and a biometric. You approve what's shared: Every request shows exactly what a business is asking for, and nothing is sent until you approve it. One scan instead of three: At venues and events, one scan of your Ethos entry pass confirms your ticket, your age, and your identity together. Everything in one place: Your verified credentials, your entry passes, and every verification from the last seven days. Backed by government data: Ethos verifies against authoritative government sources, and verification status stays current.
