Digital Signing: Sign government forms and some private-sector documents digitally, without printing and physically signing.
Auto Form-Filling: Personal details can be auto-filled into supported government forms, reducing repeat data entry.
Personal Data Vault: Securely stores identity documents digitally for use during verification.
