Yoti Gains OSP Approval for UK Digital ID Program

Published Date : 8/15/2025 

Yoti has been certified as an Orchestration Service Provider (OSP) under the UK’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), enabling the company to integrate digital identities from multiple providers and support the growing digital identity ecosystem. 

Yoti, a leading digital identity firm, has officially become a certified Orchestration Service Provider (OSP) under the UK’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This certification allows Yoti to provide integrations for businesses that want to accept digital identities from multiple providers, a move that is expected to significantly enhance the digital identity ecosystem in the UK.

Digital identity orchestration services have been identified as a key market opportunity by the UK’s Government Digital Service. The certification will enable Yoti to integrate deeply into digital ID ecosystems, just as the industry is preparing for substantial growth.

The UK has recently started enforcing its Online Safety Act, which mandates online age checks to prevent minors from accessing harmful content. Yoti Co-founder and CEO Robin Tombs believes that by the end of 2026, at least 20 million Brits over the age of 16 will likely have one or two certified reusable digital ID wallets.

Millions of UK residents will get the UK Gov ID wallet, not just minors but also company directors registering at Companies House. Many of these individuals will also have additional wallets for different purposes, including those provided by Google, Apple, Yoti, the Post Office, and Luciditi.

“Businesses will want OSPs to be able to check all the popular certified reusable digital IDs used by their UK customers,” says Tombs. “Providers of reusable digital ID wallets will need to be integrated with all the popular OSPs to ensure their ID wallet owners can prove their age or ID as widely as practical.”

The OSP certification will also allow Yoti to offer Verify gov.uk credentials, including upcoming mobile driving licences (mDLs), and accept European digital IDs. Yoti’s certification was awarded by the Kantara Initiative, a trusted organization in the digital identity space.

Other companies are also rushing to achieve OSP certification, recognizing the significant market potential and the importance of interoperability in the digital identity landscape.

Yoti’s certification is a significant milestone in the company’s journey to support the UK’s digital identity initiatives and contribute to the broader goal of enhancing online security and convenience for millions of users.
