How it works

Sending a copy of your passport or driving licence to a landlord, employer or service is risky, because an ID copy is one of the most useful documents an identity thief can get. BASTION prepares a copy bound to one purpose: black out what the check does not need, including the barcode on the back of a licence, stamp a watermark naming the recipient and date, and flatten the result with the metadata removed. Your ID stays on your device.

Doing this often? OBSCURA Keep keeps the passport and licence scans themselves, encrypted on this device, so they are not left in a downloads folder. On its own, US$4 a month; with everything else, US$9 a month or US$79 a year. 7 days free.
