Two new updates to your Xertilox Wallet

We’ve released a new update to the Xertilox Wallet with two improvements designed to strengthen your identity and make verification easier.

1. Scan your passport using NFC

 You can now scan the chip in your passport using your phone.

This allows your passport details to be read directly from the chip, providing a higher level of assurance that your document is genuine and belongs to you.

Using NFC helps strengthen your identity profile under the UK government’s GPG45 Identity Profiles framework, giving:

  • A higher identity confidence level

  • Greater credibility when you share your details

  • Faster acceptance by organisations

  • Fewer manual checks or follow-up requests

 2. New secure email sign-in

 We’ve introduced a new way to securely access your wallet.

Each time you log in, a unique sign-in link will be sent to your registered email address. Simply click the link to access your wallet securely.

This ensures that only someone with access to your email can sign in.

 What you need to do

  • Update the App via Appstore or Googleplay

  • Open your Xertilox Wallet

  • Use the secure email link to sign in when prompted

  • If you already have a passport uploaded, please remove the existing image and re-upload your passport using the new NFC option

These steps only take a few minutes and will ensure your identity remains strong, trusted, and ready to use whenever you need it.

At Xertilox, every update is focused on making identity easier to prove and more widely trusted.

Real-Time Verification: Trust Without the Wait.

 

Kind regards,
The Xertilox Team
