What Are Digital ID Cards & How Do They Work?
Virtual Badge is a complete ID card system on your mobile phone — no printers, no hardware, no training, no hassles. Unlike plastic ID cards, Virtual Badges are issued instantly, can’t be lost or faked, and are controlled remotely.
Works on iOS and Android
Virtual Badge is a full functioning ID badging system inside a mobile app for Apple and Android. Imagine never needing to buy printers, plastic cards & ink. Imagine never needing to learn how to use complicated software. Enter Virtual Badge. Download the app, request your badge, and your organization will approve or deny it -- it's that easy!
Remote Controlled ID Badges
Virtual Badges can be remotely requested, approved, denied, and managed. Never worry about making in-person badging appointments or re-printing a lost ID badge. Manage everything from your phone. Create a convenience that traditional badges can't provide by issuing Virtual Badges.
Customized To Your Organization
Each Virtual Badge is customized to your organization. Each badge displays their name, expiration date, issuing organization, and associated logos. Managers can create as many "types" of badges as they need, such as job titles, roles, or sub-company. Each badge "type" can even be setup with a customized workflow. For instance, higher security badges can require more documentation vs a basic badge.
Take A Selfie For Your Badge Photo
Stop showing up, waiting in line, and standing in front of a camera. Virtual Badge takes traditional badging processes and brings them into a mobile app. Users can apply for their ID badge and take a selfie photo from wherever, whenever.
Advanced Security Features
Virtual Badge uses advanced security features to improve safety & trust with your badge-holders. Every ID badge has a special identifier that proves it's real. Virtual Badges can even be opened only with the correct fingerprint or face ID. These advanced security features mean Virtual Badges can't be faked and can't be used by a bad actor.
Automatic Badge Expiration
Virtual Badge stops security problems that plastic ID badges can't. Unlike plastic IDs, you can expire or revoke a Virtual Badge at any time. Revoked ID badges cannot be used, ever. Use Virtual Badge to stop anyone from using expired or revoked ID badges.
Works Offline
Don’t worry about areas with low connectivity — Virtual Badge is designed to work offline. Any data recorded by your badge is stored on your smartphone until the data can be uploaded. In any environment or location, you can always display your badge.
