A Legal Identity is a cryptographically signed, broker-verified identity record tied to a Neuron account. Legal Identities are required to sign smart contracts and are used throughout the platform to establish trust between parties. These endpoints cover the full identity lifecycle: validating personal numbers, submitting applications, attaching evidence, requesting review, and retrieving approved identities.

Prerequisites

  • A cryptographic key must be created via Cryptography → Create key before applying for an identity.
  • All signing operations require a keyId, nonce, keySignature, and requestSignature.
  • Approved Legal Identities are required to sign smart contracts — see Contracts.
  • Legal identity flow guide — step-by-step walkthrough of the full application process.
  • Cryptography — create and retrieve the keys needed to sign identity applications.
  • Contracts — use approved identities to sign smart contracts.
