Paxos Identity API

An Identity represents a person or institution who is able to take actions on the Paxos Platform. Depending on your integration type you might not need to create Identities for your end users. Identities must pass a set of verifications and checks before they're able to transact on the Platform. Learn moreabout getting started with Identity and managing their onboarding lifecycle in the [Identity Developer Guide](https://docs.paxos.com/identity).

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Paxos Identity API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
