eID-Me is a free Android app developed by Bluink Ltd. that enables you to digitize and securely store your government-issued and self-managed identity information on your mobile device. With eID-Me, you can easily verify your identity online and offline in a secure and convenient way. The app requires an NFC-enabled Android mobile device with Android 6 or later, an email address, and a Canadian government-issued photo ID associated with your address. You can also use your passport to increase your level of assurance.

During registration, you prove your identity by taking a selfie with a liveness check and scanning your government-issued photo identity documents, such as a driver’s licence or passport. Your mobile device is then issued a unique eID-Me digital identity, including a secure certificate with verified pieces of information about you. Your identity information is always in your possession on your mobile device and not hosted by a centralized service or third-party provider.

eID-Me's digital wallet is protected on the mobile device with strong encryption, leveraging its hardware security mechanisms, and bound to your authentication method such as Face Unlock, Fingerprint Unlock, or PIN. With eID-Me, you can access services that require verified identity, including government, financial, health care, and more.
