This guide is for individuals using Persona Wallet, also known as Reusable Personas. That covers the wallet you save during a verification and reuse the next time a business asks you to verify, and the Persona Wallet app from the App Store or Google Play. Whether a wallet can be used, and what else is required, is decided by the business, service, or organization that asked you to verify, and they can assist with your specific situation, if you’re having trouble.

What does the Persona Wallet app do?

  • It completes verifications on your phone. Some businesses ask you to verify in an app. On Android, and on some older iPhones, you may be asked to install the Persona Wallet app to finish. You don’t need an account for this. See I was asked to download the Persona Wallet app.
  • It manages an existing Persona Wallet. If you created a Persona Wallet before, you can use the app to view or delete it.

Do I need the app to use Verify with Persona?

No. Verify with Persona is part of the business’s own verification flow, so you don’t need to install anything. The app doesn’t control or store anything for Verify with Persona. To opt out or delete your verification history, see What is Verify with Persona?

I finished something in the app, but the business says I haven’t verified.

Adding information to your wallet in the app isn’t the same as completing the business’s verification. Go back to the link or QR code the business gave you and finish that flow.

Where can I download the Persona Wallet app?

Where can I find the privacy policy and terms of use?

Who can help

The business that asked you to verify

They set up the verification, see the result, and decide what happens next, so they are the ones who can help with your result, what they need from you, or another try. Look for their help or contact page in the app, site, or email where your verification started.

Need to reach Persona instead?

Persona provides the verification tool for the business that asked you to verify, but it cannot approve, re-run, or override their decision. For any problem with your verification, including a page that will not load or a button that does nothing, we recommend contacting the app or service you are trying to access, which is named in the verification flow.

If you would still like to reach Persona, you can contact Persona support.
