It's easy to lose your passport, your ID card and whatever else that would prove your identity, but with the MiiCard, you don't have to worry about that. MiiCard, a "digital passport" that was created in conjunction with CallCredit, lets you prove your identity without the need for physical documentation.

MiiCard is essentially an [online identity service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dentity-platform) that uses CallCredit's [identity verification software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pruvly-ai). When you use the MiiCard service, you can prove that you are who you say you are in real-time. According to [Wired UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-verification), the service ensures that you can do so with the "same level of trust as a driving licence or passport."

The MiiCard service is currently being applied to the opening of bank accounts online, but a service like this could definitely be used for other activities that would require proof of identity, such as travel.
