How Maharashtra Police
Modernized  Their Identity System
with EveryCred  

Verified Badge

Project Overview 

Maharashtra Police relied for years on physical ID cards and arm licences. These documents were vulnerable to loss, duplication, and manual verification delays.
Maharashtra Police Department partnered with EveryCRED to replace this legacy system with secure, tamper-proof, W3C-compliant digital credentials that could be instantly verified through DigiLocker and QR codes. 

Challenges

The department faced several long-standing issues:

Physical-only-identity

Physical-only identity

No digital version of police IDs existed.

High-duplication-risk

High duplication risk

Physical cards were easy to forge and difficult to validate.

Manual-verification

Manual verification

Officers relied on calls and paperwork for confirmation.

Administrative-delays

Administrative delays

Issuing or updating IDs could take days or weeks.

No-DigiLocker-presence

No DigiLocker presence

Police IDs had never been published to DigiLocker before.
