Procivis builds digital identity and verifiable credential software for governments and organisations moving to decentralised identity. Its technology lets one party issue a credential, a person or business hold it in a wallet, and a relying party check it, under European and international standards.
Its buyers are public authorities and regulated organisations that have to take part in new identity schemes such as eIDAS 2.0, the Swiss E-ID and mobile driving licences, and want production software rather than a pilot built from scratch.

What Procivis Does
Digital identity programmes such as eIDAS 2.0 and the Swiss E-ID law need three things to work together: issuers who create trustworthy credentials, wallets that hold them on behalf of people and companies, and verifiers who accept them. Procivis puts all three roles on one shared core, so a government or company can run whichever part it needs without stitching separate products together. The same software serves a city offering services to residents and a company accepting credentials at login, and it can be run as open source or under an enterprise licence.
Products
Procivis One
Procivis One suits governments, regulated industries and service providers that need to issue or accept verifiable credentials in production. Its modules are:
| Desk Issuer | A no-code interface to create, design, issue, suspend and revoke credentials |
|---|---|
| Wallet App | A mobile wallet in which individuals keep and present their credentials |
| Business Wallet | A server-based wallet for organisations |
| Verifier App | Mobile verification that also works offline |
| Desk Verifier | A web-based verification dashboard |
| OpenID Bridge | Lets any OIDC provider accept verifiable credentials for login, removing usernames and passwords |
| Wallet-Relying Party Registry | Registry infrastructure for authorised relying parties, implementing the eIDAS 2.0 WRPR framework |
Mobile Government Platform
The Mobile Government Platform is a smartphone app that gives authorities online information and interaction channels to their citizens. It combines verified identity, legally binding electronic signatures, an integrated payment system, paperless documents and automated document delivery, all under the authority’s own white-label design.
How It Works
The architecture was built from scratch, with every component running on one shared core codebase.
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Procivis One Core | Written in Rust, the core handles the whole credential lifecycle and is reached through REST APIs and SDKs. |
| Procivis One Desk | A separate Java application on the Spring framework, which customers can extend with their own modules. |
| Wallets | The mobile Wallet App runs on the holder’s phone, while the Business Wallet runs on a server. |
| Key storage | Keys can sit in Azure Key Vault (HSM), an internal encrypted database, the iOS Secure Enclave, the Android Keystore or a remote secure element via Ubiqu. |
Two licence models are offered. Open Source covers Core, APIs and Wallet, and the customer sets up its own repository for production. Enterprise adds Desk and the Mobile Verifier, with third-level support, maintenance and updates. Qualified electronic signatures come from Sign8 through the CSC API, and the Mobile Government Platform authenticates citizens through AGOV.
