LYNK id

Lynk ID is a physical identity verification platform for the gig economy. We give contractors, drivers, and couriers a verified digital badge — containing their government ID, license, insurance, and background check status — that any client can confirm in under 3 seconds via NFC tap or QR scan, with no app download required. Our bilateral verification and GPS proximity confirmation create a real-time, cryptographically-proven trust layer for every physical interaction between strangers. We sell SaaS subscriptions to workers and usage-based API access to platforms like Lyft, Thumbtack, and Angi.

Every day, strangers enter homes, cars, and businesses with no real way to prove who they are. The 57 million gig workers in the U.S. have no verifiable digital identity at the point of service — a homeowner can't confirm the contractor at their door is who the platform says, and a rideshare passenger can't verify their driver before getting in the car. Existing identity verification tools like Veriff, Onfido, and Sumsub verify identity at account creation on a screen — not at the door when it actually matters. Background checks are a one-time snapshot, not real-time. The status quo is a verbal "yes" and a profile photo.
