# Verifiable Credential Issuance

PBMS Beneficiary Registry (BR) can issue beneficiary credentials (e-cards) in the form of [Verifiable Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/) (VC). These can be downloaded into the beneficiary's digital wallet upon authentication. These credentials can signify that this person is part of this benefit program. Some example use-cases are Safety Net Program Beneficiary e-Card, BPL Card, etc.
