Privacy-preserving proof of personhood
Proof you're a person.
Not who you are.
Human Pass lets a website know that each account belongs to a different real person, without the site learning who that person is.

How it works
Verify once. Sign in anywhere. Share nothing else.

1
Verify once
A person checks their government ID and a live selfie with a specialist verification provider. The provider then deletes them.

Human Pass checks it's unique
Human Pass keeps only a one-way fingerprint of the document, so the same ID can't make a second Human Pass.

"Continue with Human Pass"
Each site gets a yes and its own ID for that person: the same every visit, different on every other site.
| Verification provider | Human Pass | The site | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name, ID documents, address | Checks, then deletes | Seen briefly; keeps only a one-way fingerprint | Never |
| "This is a unique, verified human" | Verifies the ID | Confirms it's unique | Yes |
| Email address | Never | Encrypted, for sign-in and security notices | Never |
| Which sites the person uses | Never | Not recorded | Only its own |
| An ID that follows the person across sites | Never | Internal only, never shared | Never |

For people
A site asked me to verify with Human Pass
What you'll be asked for, what the site sees, what we keep, and what happens if you lose access or someone uses your ID.

I want one real person per account
Stop fake and duplicate accounts without collecting anyone's identity. One standard "Sign in with…" integration.
See how it fitsWhy we're building it
A personhood layer for the Internet — built on privacy, not surveillance.
Fewer fake accounts
Bots, sock puppets and ban evasion all rely on one person running many accounts. A verified, unique person per account takes that away.
No new identity databases
Sites get the benefit of an ID check without becoming another place that stores passports and home addresses.
Free for people
Proving you're human shouldn't cost you anything. Sites pay for the assurance; nobody pays with their data.
