World ID Travel

Restore travel confidence and ensure traveler and citizen safety through a solution to enable secure sharing of health credentials.

A safety-first approach to restarting travel

World ID is a platform that allows individual pre-travel health assessment, ensuring compliance with entry rules while minimizing infection risk and enabling a safer restart to travel. The paperless solution helps reduce fraud and time at check-in.

Governments

Governments can ensure citizen safety, with pre-departure clearance for travelers. They can set and proactively check their health entry rules to reflect actual risk for cross-border and internal travel.

Airlines

Airlines can ensure their passengers have the right health credentials to comply with the destination country's current health entry requirements before they travel and restore travel confidence.

Airports

Airports can restore travel confidence, protect staff and return to more normal operations by knowing travelers are safe to travel before they leave home and enabling touchless processing.

High-speed rail

Railroad companies can ensure compliance with destination requirements and restore travel confidence with pre-travel compliance checks.

Hotels

Hotels can protect guests and employees at the hotel with pre-arrival checks, ensuring they are tested and/or vaccinated.

Cruise ships

Cruise operators can ensure compliance with cruise ports entry requirements and implement pre-arrival checks as well as daily test results.

Resorts

Resorts can help protect employees and guests with pre-arrival checks.

Taking the uncertainty out of travel

Through a secure app on their personal device, travelers can share their health and other information relevant to their ability to travel with organizations they trust. Travelers are in control of their data and can claim and share attestations with institutions they trust. Travelers can arrive at their destination with confidence, knowing that all fellow travelers have disclosed the health and safety accreditations required to facilitate their journey. The result? The relaunch of air travel – while safeguarding the health and safety of travelers, employees and citizens.
