WorkPair® is a verified professional identity platform that replaces self-reported credentials with institutionally attested, government-verified records. Professionals maintain a permanent, portable WorkPair ID, where universities confirm degrees, employers confirm roles, and government verifies identity—with every data access requiring explicit consent. The platform supports 200+ countries and 27 languages, and offers a feed and messaging network where all activity is fee-gated to ensure authenticity.

Problem
Professional credentials are typically self-reported on resumes and profiles, making them easy to fabricate or exaggerate. Recruiters, employers, and institutions lack a reliable way to separate genuine qualifications from fiction, while professionals have no single, portable record of their verified achievements across their careers.
Solution
WorkPair builds verified professional identity infrastructure where every credential is confirmed at the source by the issuing institution—universities verify degrees, employers confirm roles, and government ID verification confirms identity, with zero self-reported claims accepted. Each professional receives a permanent WorkPair ID that remains portable across institutions, countries, and decades, from first education to final role. The platform is structured around consent-gated data access, meaning no third party can view a user's credentials without explicit, per-request approval that is time-limited and fully logged. Profiles can be shared via public links, and a built-in professional network with feed, messaging, and opportunities is open only to verified individuals.
Target Audience
Primary users are working professionals seeking a verified, portable identity record, alongside institutions such as universities, employers, licensing boards, and government agencies that need to issue and validate credentials at scale.
Features
- Source-verified credentials: Universities, employers, professional bodies, and government agencies issue cryptographic attestations directly, eliminating self-reported claims entirely
- Permanent WorkPair ID: A single alphanumeric identifier (WID) that stays with the user for life times and cannot be reassigned, with no public display; WID access is restricted to essential personnel and never shared without explicit consent
- Consent-gated data architecture: Every access request from recruiters, institutions, or API consumers requires individual, per-request approval by the user; expired requests result in zero data disclosure and zero charges, and access cannot be overridden by commercial agreements
- Fee-gated social platform: All network actions carry costs—$5 per post, $1.50 per like, $2 per comment, $5 per repost—to prevent spam and ensure genuine interactions, paid from a prepaid wallet
- Government ID verification: KYC/KYB verification through a certified third-party partner using government-issued documents and facial biometrics, available in 200+ countries and 27 languages
- Institutional analytics and portals: Bulk credential management, member verification, invite links, and analytics for schools, universities, employers, professional bodies, and government agencies
- API and enterprise tools: REST API, single sign-on, custom compliance options, and white-label deployments for defense, intelligence, and cross-agency needs
