Self: Human & Agent Identity

Self Labs

About this app

Self is the privacy-first way to prove you're human and verify who you are online (or give your agent a secure identity), without handing over your personal data. Trusted by Google, Opera, and 15M+ users.

Verify your real-world identity once using a biometric passport, biometric national ID cards, Aadhaar, or any other supported identity document. Once registered, you can prove the specific attributes services require, such as your humanity, age, or nationality, without ever disclosing the underlying document or your personal information.

Key Features:
PROOF OF HUMAN: Prove you're a real person, not a bot, fake account, or AI impersonator. Defend yourself against fraud and deepfakes.
AGE VERIFICATION: Confirm you're over 18 (or any age threshold) without revealing your birthday. Built for social apps, marketplaces, and age-gated services.
PRE-KYC: Verify your eligibility (age, country of residence, sanctions, etc.) before any KYC process, only sharing your personal information with companies and institutions once necessary.
AGENT ID: Delegate your identity credentials to your autonomous agent, unlocking broader utility and access across the internet.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN: Self is using the latest zero-knowledge technology, fully audited by the world’s best security experts. All data is stored locally on the user’s device — never on any servers. When a user verifies their identity, a verifiable credential is created and saved securely in the app. There’s no cloud storage, no centralized database, and no way for anyone - including Self - to access the data without the user's consent.

"We’re committed to ensuring developers can build faster with reduced friction while maintaining industry‑leading security standards," said Rich Widmann, Google. "Integrating Self allows us to further this mission with frontier zero‑knowledge solutions."

Why Self
Defend against bots, deepfakes, AI impersonation, and identity fraud
Meet age and compliance requirements without surrendering personal information
Carry one verified identity across the apps you use, instead of re-uploading documents at every sign-up
Help establish a global standard for verified identity that keeps people, not platforms, in control of their data

Ratings and reviews

after scanning NFC it shows recover self account, after recovering from wither recovery phrase or Google drive none of them works it takes back to recover account, runs on loop and never actually proceeds to next step

At first it declined my application more than 10s but I keep trying just as the app said anytime it declined and now I am verified

The Self app is an excellent digital identity app that prioritizes security and puts you in control of your information. I love how it utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to ensure secure verification without unnecessarily exposing my private details to third parties. If you want a reliable identity wallet to protect personal data online, this is absolutely a must download.
