Digital guest registration with verifiable identity credentials
Why visitor management keeps breaking
Visitor flows often rely on reception staff typing details into local tools, guests repeating the same information, and teams maintaining separate lists for security, facilities, and compliance. That creates three recurring issues: queues at peak times, inconsistent identity checks, and extra copies of personal data.
The Partisia approach
Partisia enables secure, frictionless digital guest registration using verifiable digital guest credentials. Instead of registering visitors on-site, you issue a guest pass in advance and let the guest present it at arrival.
Guests receive the credential directly on their phone either:
- Email link for simple, low-friction guest issuance
- MitID verification for high-assurance visits where identity confidence matters
At the entrance or reception, the guest presents the credential for a quick check-in. No re-typing, no paper trails, and no need to store personal information locally just to get someone through the door.
How it works in practice
1) Issue the guest pass
The host or facility team issues a digital guest pass. The guest receives it as a secure credential on their phone. You control what the credential contains, for example visit window, host, location, and access level.
2) Optional identity assurance with MitID
When you need stronger proof, the guest verifies using MitID during issuance. This gives you higher confidence without forcing slow, manual checks at reception.
3) Arrival: scan - swipe - go
The guest presents the credential and completes a fast check-in. Staff confirm the visit and move on. The workflow is built for throughput, not paperwork.
4) Consistent verification across sites
The same credential format works across buildings and tenants. That means fewer custom rules, fewer exceptions, and less training burden for reception and security teams.
Key benefits
This is designed for real operations, not ideal conditions. You can deploy it without a long integration project, then expand scope as your teams get comfortable.
- No integration required - works with cloud and legacy setups
- Stronger verification without slowing check-in - MitID when you need it
- Flexible issuance - MitID or simple email-based access
- Less admin work - no on-site re-entry and fewer manual corrections
- Aligned with EU digital identity direction - wallet-ready verification model
- Scales across buildings and FM teams - one approach across sites
Privacy and security by design
Visitor data is sensitive. The common failure mode in visitor tools is unnecessary duplication: the same personal information is stored in multiple places because each system needs its own record.
With verifiable credentials, you can confirm what you need at arrival without creating yet another local copy. This reduces exposure while still supporting audit and operational needs.
Why this belongs in your IAM roadmap
Visitor management is identity and access management in the real world. If your IAM strategy is only focused on employees and apps, you end up ignoring a daily access flow that happens at the front desk.

Where this solution fits best
The strongest fit is environments where speed, consistency, and compliance pressure are all present. Typical deployments include:
- Multi-tenant office buildings with shared reception
- Enterprise headquarters with frequent external visitors
- Critical sites where higher identity assurance is required
- Facilities teams managing visitor processes across multiple locations
You can start with one building and expand once the workflow is proven.
Get started
If your current visitor process depends on manual entry, temporary codes, or local storage of personal data, it is time to modernize it. This approach is built to reduce friction for guests while tightening control for operators.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a verifiable guest credential?
It is a digitally signed credential issued to a guest’s phone that can be verified at arrival. It works like a secure guest pass, without relying on shared codes or paper-based check-in.
Can I use email instead of MitID?
Yes. Email issuance supports low-friction visits. MitID is available when you need higher assurance.
Do I need new hardware at reception?
In many setups, existing scanning devices or mobile scanners can work. The goal is to avoid heavy changes to front desk operations.
How does this reduce administrative workload?
Guests stop re-entering the same details at arrival, reception teams stop fixing manual errors, and facility teams can standardize one workflow across sites.
Is this future-proof for EU digital identity standards?
Yes. The design aligns with the direction of EU wallet-based identity and verifiable credentials, so you can modernize now without painting yourself into a corner later.
