Get a credential with the institution's QR code

The institution shows you a QR code and a 6-digit one-time code on a screen or in an email; you scan the QR code with Scan and enter the code.

Topics in this guide

Before you start

  • The QR code (or link) and the code the institution shows you.
  • An internet connection.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Tap the Scan button in the middle

    The first time, camera permission is asked: Allow.

    Scan screen: the camera view for reading an institution's QR code.
    Scan
  2. Step 2: Fit the QR code in the frame

    The wallet reads the offer by itself. If you have a link instead of a QR code, use “Have a link? Paste it”.

  3. Step 3: “Enter the code from the institution”

    Type the 6-digit code the institution showed you. The card at the top shows which credential the offer is for and who is issuing it.

  4. Step 4: Credential added

    The wallet creates the keys on the phone and receives the credential's copies; then “Credential added” appears.

    Document added: the institution's signature was checked on the phone, the new diploma card.

Good to know

  • An offer is single-use and is cancelled after 3 wrong attempts; then ask the institution for a new one.
  • If you see “This offer was already used.” and it was not you, tell the institution.
  • Some offers are tied to a person: the app says “Verify your identity first”. Verify your identity, then scan the QR code again.
  • The wallet checks whether the institution is in the Tamga trusted list; if not, it says “This institution is not in the Tamga trusted list.” and does not take the credential.
