### [Scaling Verify with Wallet for Identity Verification at Uber](https://yomu.fyi/post/scaling-verify-with-wallet-for-identity-verification-at-uber.md)

Uber integrated Apple’s Verify with Wallet API into its cross-app Identity Verification Platform to support government-backed digital IDs across driver onboarding, age-gated ordering, and car rental use cases. The central challenge was allowing each use case to request only its Apple-approved identity data while operating through a scalable, platform-agnostic service rather than separate integrations. Server-side configurations map Uber identity models to PassKit objects, set one-time or persistent storage intent, and validate responses using HPKE decryption, CBOR payloads, session transcripts, MSOs, device signatures, and issuer certificate chains under ISO/IEC 18013-5. A registry of IACA certificates, sourced from jurisdictional portals and AAMVA’s VICAL, supports overlapping certificate rotations, while the platform is intended to accommodate new document types and cross-platform digital credential integrations.


### [Introducing Cash Trips: A New Way for Riders to Pay and for You to Earn](https://yomu.fyi/post/introducing-cash-trips-a-new-way-for-riders-to-pay-and-for-you-to-earn.md)

Uber is introducing cash trips in select cities for riders who lack convenient access to bank accounts or cards, or prefer cash, while creating another earning opportunity for drivers. Only verified riders can use the option, and drivers see “Verified” and “Cash” badges plus the rider’s rating before accepting. At trip end, drivers tap “Collect Payment,” enter the exact cash received, and see that amount recorded as a negative payout because it was collected directly; negative balances are offset by future digital earnings. Drivers are automatically opted in at launch but can opt out in Preferences, while Uber says it will handle underpayments, provide change to riders through Uber Cash, and prohibit cash payment on trips not marked as cash.
