Thailand Post launched its digital credential wallet, Prompt Pass, on June 18th, integrating it with the Prompt Post platform. Users can receive, save, send, and verify official documents on their mobile phones. The initial application is in student digital transcripts, demonstrating that verifiable credentials have entered public service scenarios.
The first batch was used for student transcripts
The first round of public deployment is open to SBAC students. During Career Day 2026, students can present their digital transcripts directly to prove their qualifications and credentials on-site, without needing paper documents or waiting for additional materials from the school.
Employers can quickly complete verification on-site. The article states that verification results can be returned within seconds and can identify whether documents have been tampered with. This means that digital credentials are no longer in the testing phase but have already entered real-world scenarios such as recruitment.
Supports multiple types of official documents
Prompt Pass isn't just for educational records. Thailand Post states that the wallet can hold various official documents, including educational certificates, government certifications, and professional licenses. For a digital identity system, the more types of documents it covers, the easier it is to expand to include other institutions and use cases.
From a technical perspective, each document is issued in the form of a verifiable credential and adopts a self-managed identity model. Users hold their own credentials locally and disclose specific information only when needed, rather than storing complete data in a single central database indefinitely.
Security certification is in place.
The key point of this model is that verification can still be completed through the issuer's encrypted signature, but data control remains more in the hands of the user. Compared to centralized databases, this approach reduces the risks associated with storing large amounts of sensitive information in a single point of contact.
Thailand Post also mentioned that its information security management has obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. This certification provides a verifiable security standard for how services handle sensitive data and helps increase the willingness of schools, businesses, and public institutions to access the service.
For schools, digital credentials can reduce the administrative costs of issuing, copying, authenticating, and repeatedly verifying transcripts. For businesses, processes such as recruitment, onboarding, and partner verification can be completed more quickly. For government departments, if more institutions adopt a similar model, documents such as licenses, health certificates, and transportation registrations can also use the same issuance and verification methods.
