Your portable marketplace reputation, verified
Stripe Identity + cross-platform ratings + a TrustScore from 0 to 1000. One shareable QR badge that proves you are a real, trusted seller — on any UK marketplace.
Free download. iOS & Android. UK-first.
A Trust Passport is SilentID’s verified seller badge for UK marketplaces. It combines Stripe Identity verification, your cross-platform ratings from Vinted, Depop, eBay and more, and your behaviour history into a single TrustScore (0-1000) and a shareable QR badge. It is free, portable, and cannot be bought.
What is a Trust Passport?
Online marketplaces are now the single largest source of UK consumer fraud — Cifas data shows 37% of UK adults have been scammed on a second-hand marketplace, and only 18% of victims ever recover their money (Source: Cifas). The root problem is that reputation does not travel. Five years of perfect Vinted ratings vanish the moment you switch to Depop. A friendly Facebook Marketplace seller could be on a brand-new account with zero history. There is no portable proof of trust.
The Trust Passport fixes that. One verified profile that aggregates who you are, where you sell, and how you behave — and a single shareable badge that any buyer can verify in seconds, no app required to view.
TrustScore breakdown — how the 1,000 points are earned
Every point on the TrustScore is tied to a verifiable fact. There is no “paid tier” — a SilentID Pro subscription does not increase your score by a single point.
| Component | Max points | How to earn it |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | 300 pts | Email (50) · Stripe ID (150) · Passkey (50) · Phone (50) |
| Profiles | 400 pts | Verified marketplace profiles (100 each, max 300) · Social (50 each, max 100) |
| Behaviour | 300 pts | Account age (100) · Active usage (100) · No risk flags (100) |
| TOTAL | 1,000 pts | Earned, never bought |
TrustScore bands (what the colour on the badge means)
- Exceptional · 850+ — Identity verified, 3+ marketplaces linked, 12+ months active, zero risk flags. The trust ceiling.
- Very High · 700-849 — Identity verified, 2+ marketplaces linked, clean history.
- High · 550-699 — Identity verified, at least one linked marketplace, no flags.
- Moderate · 400-549 — Partial verification. Treat with normal care.
- Low · 250-399 — Limited verification. Buyer should verify in person.
- High Risk · 0-249 — Unverified or recent risk signals. Do not transact without PIN Pickup.
Three real ways people use a Trust Passport
1. The Vinted seller who got banned for nothing
Vinted has banned over 50,000 UK accounts for algorithmic risk-flag false positives, and 89% of banned users never recover their ratings (Source: Cifas). With a Trust Passport, four years of Vinted feedback are mirrored to a profile you own. If the platform locks you out, your reputation survives — and you can rebuild on Depop or eBay carrying your full history.
2. The dating profile that wants to prove they are real
Catfishing and romance fraud cost UK adults £92 million in 2024 alone (Source: UK Finance). Pinning your Trust Passport QR code to a dating app bio gives the other person a way to confirm — in 5 seconds, no app install required — that your name, age and identity have been verified by Stripe. It is not a substitute for meeting safely; it is a substitute for blindly trusting a photo.
3. The flat-share applicant the landlord cannot reference-check
Sub-letters, lodgers and Airbnb hosts increasingly ask for a Trust Passport because it shortcuts the “is this person a real adult with a clean history?” question. Identity verified, UK address confirmed, no risk flags, an account that has existed for over a year. A light-touch substitute for a credit check on a short-term rental.
