World ID app is now available across 150+ countries. The app is an identity wallet that gives people a secure place to claim, manage, and present a set of AI-safe human Proofs needed to navigate the internet and digital services in the age of AI.
This year, automated traffic surpassed human traffic on the web for the first time.
People, enterprises, and online platforms now need a simple way to know when an interaction is authentic and when it is not. Services in industries such as e-commerce, banking, and finance also increasingly need ways to establish facts about someone, such as their age or nationality, without seeking or storing sensitive personal documents.
To meet these needs, World launched World ID app, a place to store cryptographic Proofs, such as Proof of Human, Proof of Presence, and Proof of Attributes.
Raising the bar for post-quantum privacy and security
World ID app is built on World ID 4.0, the latest release of the World ID protocol, which raises the bar for post-quantum privacy and security.
For enterprises, it operates at production grade and is designed to be resilient to compromise, recoverable if access is lost, and compatible with existing security infrastructure and systems.
For consumers, World ID is intuitive, portable, and private by default, allowing individuals to recover access, manage Proofs, and interact across apps, while preserving privacy. These features are made possible through design choices like one-time-use nullifiers, which prevent interactions from being linked or correlated, alongside a system architecture that ensures no personal data is exposed or stored.
For websites and services screening agents, World ID can answer the question: is a real person behind this request? Agents that cannot answer are likely to be blocked, which creates friction and frustration for the person who sent them and potential losses for the website. Proof of Human gives them an answer, and World's AgentKit, currently in beta, offers tools to build that answer into agents.
One place to claim, manage, and present World ID Proofs
World ID app is an identity wallet where you manage and present Proofs across apps, services, and AI-powered experiences. The app supports:
- Proof of Human: a one-time Orb verification establishes that you are one unique human.
- Proof of Presence: a quick check on your phone that proves to a third party that a live individual is present and provides a signal that helps platforms manage repeat or automated activity.
- Proof of Attributes: proves specific attributes from government credentials like age or nationality, without revealing anything else, including identity.

With World ID app, you can:
- Claim Proofs: Claim a unique Proof of Human at an Orb; claim other Proofs from your phone in minutes.
- Manage Proofs: Store your Proofs in one secure place and manage access and use.
- Present Proofs: When an app or service asks you to prove something, authenticate through World ID app and share only the Proof needed for that interaction.
More than 18 million people hold a Proof of Human, a Proof that attests that someone is a real and unique human. Proof of Human has been presented more than 475 million times globally.
World ID for agents
AI agents now have their own browsers, wallets, and credentials, and have started logging into accounts, comparing prices, and completing purchases for the people who send them. As people hand agents more responsibility, the relationship between a person, their agent, and the platform or service they are interacting with becomes more important.
Platforms need ways to understand when the human behind an agent has authorized it to act on their behalf. World ID supports that connection. A person can establish Proofs about themselves and delegate them to an agent, allowing the agent to confirm those Proofs to a third-party platform. World ID app gives individuals a place to manage those Proofs and how they are used.

Where can I download World ID app?
The app is available for download in the App Store and Google Play across 150+ countries.
Do I need to be Orb-verified to use World ID app?
No. World ID app does not require Proof of Human. Individuals who are not Orb-verified can download the app in countries where it is available and use it to claim, manage, and present other Proofs, including Proof of Presence and Proof of Attributes.
What is the difference between World ID app and World Money app?
World ID app and World Money serve different purposes. World ID app is an identity wallet where individuals can manage and present Proofs across apps, services, and AI-powered experiences.
World Money is a financial super app, with features including wallets, payments, grants, and Mini Apps.
