Use Status List Service to change credential status
The Status List Service keeps a record of the status of all credentials issued to GOV.UK Wallet that include status list functionality.
The Status List Service provides:
- an issuer-facing API that credential issuers can use to issue a status list entry to a credential, and revoke it when required
- a set of public-facing credential status lists that anyone can use to check a credential’s status
As a credential issuer, you can use the issuer-facing API to request a unique uri and index which can be embedded into a new credential when you issue it to GOV.UK Wallet. The uri and index refer to a unique slot in one of the Status List Service’s status lists, where your credential’s status will be stored. You can then set the status of this issued status list slot as revoked if you need to revoke a credential in future.
Anyone, including credential verifiers and holders, can use the public-facing status lists to get a single status list and check the status of a credential it contains.
