# Government Services
Digital identity for citizen services, reducing fraud.
* **Replace your passwords with credentials**\
Unlike passwords, credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or copied, and don’t require your employees to remember them.
* **Access management**\
Both physical and digital access management can be done through credentials for enhanced security — and unlike access cards, credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or copied.
* **Manage social and welfare programs**\
By issuing each citizen a credential you can reduce fraud in aid / benefits applications.
* **Employment authorization**\
Ensure that applicants are eligible to work.
* **Manage travel**\
Verifiable credentials can replace passports and offer a faster, more secure way to cross borders.
* **Replace driver’s licenses**\
These licenses would be impossible to fake and offer a fast way to provide only the identity information necessary when needed.
* **Replace important personal documents**\
Marriage licenses, death certificates, social security information could all be digitized and more secure than a paper document that can be lost or damaged.
* **Proof of residency**\
By using credentials you could automate parts of the residency process and quickly verify status.
* **First responder credentials**\
Quickly ensure only authorized personnel are allowed access to emergency areas.
* **Replacement permits**\
Digitizing permits would speed up the process for checking that they are up to date and could notify holders when they are about to expire and need to be renewed.
* **Professional licenses**\
Know for certain that your doctor or lawyer is licensed, and allow the end customer to verify their credentials for themselves.
* **Certifications**\
Keep your certifications up to date and easily share them, as opposed to keeping them safe in a box somewhere.
* **Manage age restricted substances**\
By sharing identification through a credential you can be more confident that only people that are old enough are buying restricted products.
