ZIP Code Verification | Zero-Knowledge Location Proof | MyProof
MyProof ZIP code verification proves service-area eligibility without storing the user's street address or exact location record. It is designed for products that need a location-based answer rather than raw address data.
Never sent during verification
- Street address
- ZIP code
- License number
- Document image
Best for
- Service-area policies based on a supported driver's-license ZIP field.
- Programs that need an in-area result rather than the full address.
- Composite policies that combine ZIP eligibility with age or state.
Not for
- Proving current physical location or validating a delivery address.
- Assuming an ID address is always current.
- Returning the raw ZIP code when the workflow only needs eligibility.

Frequently asked questions
How does ZIP code verification work?
MyProof reads a supported ZIP field from a compatible driver's license on the user's phone and evaluates it against the configured service-area policy. The workflow receives the eligibility result rather than the address.
Can MyProof verify a service area without storing the address?
Yes. The street address and ZIP stay on the user's device during verification while the requesting system receives an in-area or out-of-area result and receipt reference.
Can a policy use a ZIP list or range?
A service-area policy can be configured around the supported ZIP set the organization defines. The exact policy representation should be validated during integration.
Does ZIP verification confirm the user's current location?
No. It evaluates a document-derived ZIP field. It does not geolocate the user or validate a current delivery address.
Can ZIP eligibility be combined with age or state?
Yes. A configured policy can combine supported ZIP, state, and age predicates when the workflow needs more than one eligibility fact.
