Using mock passports
Mock passports are how you exercise verification end-to-end without a real passport. Useful for development, CI, and demos.
Mock passports only work against flows in your test environment (i.e. sessions created with an sk_test_ key). They never verify against live flows. See Test vs. live.
Generating a mock passport
To create a mock passport, on the Self app’s first screen, tap 5 times with one finger on the Passport button.
This opens the mock-passport creation screen. Set the attributes you want to test against (nationality, age, OFAC status), then save.
To try the whole loop end-to-end without writing any code, open playground.staging.self.xyz, the staging playground accepts mock passports.
To stop using a mock passport, select a different document to use. If no other document is added yet, go to Settings → Manage ID Documents.
Click Add New Document.
If the document is already registered, it can be selected from the Home page.
