My mother is thinking about moving to Spain to be near us. She's 79, she sits on our advisory board, and she thinks these things through to the end.

I told her about the German wallet launching in January.

She asked: "And if I move in with you?"

I started explaining mutual recognition. Notification. Cross-border interoperability.

She waited until I'd finished and said:

"So, no then."

Four words. And roughly right — she'd get a wallet from a country she doesn't live in, and a green sheet of paper from the country she does.

If Oma understands it, everyone does.

hashID is how you get to be yourself, without having to explain yourself.
And you live it every day. With your people. And with everything you do.
