Workers can reuse the trust signal across legitimate requesters.

QR shareable

A QR or link can show permitted status signals.

Consent-controlled

Sharing and fresh checks should follow consented flows.

How badge sharing works

  1. 1Worker completes verification with consent.
  2. 2Badge is issued.
  3. 3Worker shares QR or link with a legitimate requester.
  4. 4Requester sees permitted signals.
  5. 5Worker can renew, correct, or revoke where supported.

Worker privacy

  • Public badge screens avoid raw documents.
  • Sensitive fields should be minimized.
  • Requesters should see source-backed status signals, not private records.
  • DSR and correction paths remain available.

Frequently asked questions

What is a worker badge?

A worker badge is a portable PRAMAAN trust signal with QR or link sharing for permitted verification status.

Who owns the badge?

The worker owns the badge. It should not be locked to one employer, household, or society.

Who can scan it?

Anyone the worker shares it with can scan the public link, but they should see only permitted signals.

Can I renew it?

Renewal is supported where the product flow and badge validity rules allow it.

Can I correct a wrong signal?

Yes. Use correction, support, or DSR routes for wrong, stale, or disputed data.

Can an employer force me to share?

PRAMAAN cannot make employment-law promises here. Workers should understand what is being shared and use human support for coercive or unclear cases.

Can I revoke access?

Revocation depends on the product flow and previous audit/contract records. Use support or DSR if unclear.

Glossary terms

Human handoff

When to talk to a human

Use human handoff for badge misuse, correction, revocation, coercion, or account-specific worker questions.

DSR route

Use formal routes for data rights

Access, correction, erasure, nomination, consent withdrawal, and grievance requests should use DSR, DPO, or grievance pages so scope and handling are tracked.

Feedback helps PRAMAAN improve support answers without collecting raw identity data.

Move safely from answer to action

Use the route that matches the sensitivity of your case. Keep raw documents out of support messages unless a controlled workflow asks for them.
