Using Kvick ID
What is Kvick ID?
Kvick ID is a personal account that holds your verified details and the result of your identity verification, so you do not have to start from zero at every new platform. You complete KYC once, with a specialist verification provider. After that, platforms that work with Kvick ID can ask about your status, and nothing is shared until you approve the request.
What does it cost me?
Kvick ID is designed to be free for individuals. Participating platforms pay for the service.
Can I use Kvick ID today?
Not yet. The system works end to end, but it currently runs on synthetic test data while formal legal review is prepared and the first pilot partners are selected. We say this plainly because a product built on trust should be honest about where it stands.
How long does a verification last?
Every verification carries an expiry date, set when the result is issued. When it expires, or if the provider withdraws it, platforms are notified to stop relying on it, and you would verify again to refresh your status.
Can I say no to a request, or change my mind later?
Yes. The first request from a platform always needs your explicit approval, and declining is always an option. A yes stands until you withdraw it, so you are not asked again every time the platform re-checks. Withdrawing works at any time and stops all further sharing immediately.
One honest detail: what a platform already received while your consent was active stays with that platform. It relied on that answer at the time, and regulated companies are required to keep records of the checks they perform.
Your data and privacy
What happens to my identity documents?
The verification itself is performed by a specialist KYC provider, and your documents and selfie stay with that provider. Kvick ID keeps your verified details (name, date of birth, nationality, residence) and the outcome: verified or not, at what level, and until when. Never the documents themselves; we cannot lose or leak what we never hold.
What exactly does a platform see when I approve?
Exactly what the consent screen listed, nothing more. By default that is your verified details (full name, date of birth, nationality, country of residence) together with the verification status, level, provider and dates, in one signed message. Some platforms only ask for the status itself, with no personal details; the request always says which of the two you are approving. Never your documents, and never where you verified first. A sample is shown on the front page.
What if Kvick ID is hacked?
We designed the system around that question. Identity documents cannot be exposed, because Kvick ID never stores them. Status signatures cannot be forged, because the signing keys are kept separate from the data. What an attacker could reach is the verified account details (the same fields you approve for sharing, like name and date of birth) and verification status, never documents or photos. That would still be a serious incident, and we would treat it as one, but the damage is bounded by design.
Can I delete my Kvick ID?
Yes, you will be able to close your account. Some records of past sharing may need to be kept for legally required periods, because regulated platforms relied on them for their own decisions. Exactly what is kept, and for how long, is being settled as part of the legal review, and it will be spelled out in plain language before launch.
I received an email claiming to be from Kvick ID. How do I check?
Real Kvick ID emails only link to kvickid.com addresses, and we never ask for identity documents, passwords, or payment by email. If you are unsure, forward the message to contact@kvickid.com and we will confirm or deny that it came from us.
