Approval sets up your signing key and did:web. Start your flat monthly membership and your API key is ready.

Legal name:Business number:Domain you control: Your public website, such as worksitesafety.ca. The choice below is a hostname on this domain.

How other verifiers find your public key

Checks on valid.ca use the record stored when you are approved. A wallet, an employer app, or any other verifier loads your public key and revocation list from your domain. Pick the hostname they should use, or say you are not sure yet. You add the DNS record or the proxy after approval.

Credentials subdomainUsual choicecredentials.yourdomain.ca Add one CNAME at your DNS provider, from credentials.yourdomain.ca to valid.ca. Your website stays on yourdomain.ca. valid.ca answers on the credentials hostname with your public key and revocation list. Same domain as your websiteyourdomain.ca Your website keeps serving yourdomain.ca. Whoever runs it proxies these two paths to valid.ca, forwarding the original Host header. Resolvers ignore redirects, so each address has to return the document itself: /.well-known/did.json/status/1 Choose this when each credential should name yourdomain.ca itself. I don't know Leave the setup for later. Approval uses the credentials subdomain, credentials.yourdomain.ca, which is one CNAME and leaves your website alone. Tell us before approval if the credential should name yourdomain.ca itself.
