Introduction

The register of digital identity and attribute services is a public list of government-registered organisations who provide digital identity services. All organisations on the register provide聽services that are certified against the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework.听

This guidance sets out how digital identity providers can:聽

• apply to join the register of digital identity and attribute services聽
• update their service or company details on the register聽
• remove their details from the register

By joining the register, digital identity providers can prove that their services are safe, secure and reliable.听聽

1. Understand the requirements of the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework

Before you can apply to join the register, you must ensure that you understand the requirements of the鈥疷K digital identity and attributes trust framework, including any role types that could apply to your service.

To get certified and to maintain your registration, you鈥檒l need to prove that your service meets the rules in the trust framework.

Additional rules you may need to meet

You may need to prove that your service meets additional rules depending on how your service will be used.听These additional rules are known as supplementary codes and may聽be required for聽complying with specific legislation or regulations. 聽

You must check whether any supplementary codes apply to your service, and that you understand the additional rules.

2. Get certified by a Conformity Assessment Body

You will need to contact an鈥�approved Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) to certify each service you would like to register. They will check that your service meets the rules in the trust framework, and the rules of any supplementary codes if applicable.听聽

Once your service is certified, your CAB will submit your certificate to the Office for Digital Identities & Attributes (OfDIA), along with additional company and contact information to start your application.

3. Start the application process聽

OfDIA will review the information provided by your CAB and check that your certificate is valid.

Once your certificate information is confirmed, you will receive an email from OfDIA within 1 week to ask for your agreement to start the application process. You鈥檒l need to follow the link in the email to progress your application.

4. Await your application outcome

OfDIA will review your application using the information that your CAB has submitted. You will receive an email from OfDIA within 3 weeks to confirm聽the outcome of your application.

5. Get published to the register 聽

If your application is successful, you will need to agree to your details being published on the register. To do this, you鈥檒l need to follow the link in the email you receive from聽OfDIA.听聽

Once you agree, your service information, certification information and organisation鈥檚 public contact details will be published to the register within 1 week.

What to do if your information changes 聽
