<p><strong>Telegram Passport</strong> is a unified authorization method for services that require personal identification. Users can upload their documents once, then instantly share their data with services that require real-world ID (finance, ICOs, etc.). Telegram doesn't have access to the users' personal information thanks to end-to-end encryption.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="#overview" id="overview" name="overview"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Overview</h3>
<p>From the perspective of a service that requires real-world ID, the process looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>A user presses "Log in with Telegram" on your <strong>website</strong> or in your <strong>app</strong>.</li>
<li>You <a href="#requesting-information">request</a> the <a href="#fields">data</a> you need.</li>
<li>The user accepts your <a href="#privacy-policy">privacy policy</a> and agrees to share their data.</li>
<li>The user's Telegram app downloads and decrypts the data you requested from the end-to-end encrypted storage on Telegram.</li>
<li>If some of the data you requested is missing, the user can add it to their Telegram Passport at this point.</li>
<li>The user's app encrypts the data with your <a href="#generating-your-public-key">public key</a> and sends it to you.</li>
<li>You <a href="#decrypting-data">decrypt</a> the data, check it for <a href="#fixing-errors">errors</a> and re-request any missing or invalid information.</li>
<li>You sign the user up for your service. <strong>Tada!</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Check out <a href="https://core.telegram.org/passport/example">this example</a> to see Telegram Passport in action.</p>

<p><strong>Telegram Passport 1.1</strong> (<a href="https://telegram.org/blog/export-and-more#improved-telegram-passport">blog post</a>)</p>
<ul>
<li>Added support for requesting <strong>several documents of one type</strong>. See the new objects <a href="#passportscope">PassportScope</a>, <a href="#passportscopeelement">PassportScopeElement</a>, <a href="#passportscopeelementone">PassportScopeElementOneOfSeveral</a> and <a href="#passportscopeelementone">PassportScopeElementOne</a>.</li>
<li>Added support for <strong>middle names</strong>.</li>
<li>Added support for requesting certified <strong>English translations</strong> for documents (see <a href="#fields">Fields</a>; new field <em>translation</em> also added to the <a href="#securevalue">SecureValue</a> object). <strong>Note:</strong> Please only request translations <em>after</em> you have received a valid document that requires one.</li>
<li>Added support for requesting <strong>names</strong> in the language of the user's country of residence (if other than English). New fields <em>first_name_native</em>, <em>last_name_native</em> and <em>middle_name_native</em> added to the <a href="#personaldetails">PersonalDetails</a> object.</li>
<li>Replaced the <em>payload</em> parameter with the new parameter <em>nonce</em>, which serves the same function, to make the purpose more obvious (see <a href="#request-parameters">Request Parameters</a> and the <a href="#credentials">Credentials</a> object).</li>
<li>Updated the <a href="/passport/example">example page</a> to support the new functionality.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="#setting-up-telegram-passport" id="setting-up-telegram-passport" name="setting-up-telegram-passport"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Setting Up Telegram Passport</h3>
<p>To integrate Telegram Passport into your login or verification flow, you need a working Telegram bot (see <a href="/bots#how-do-i-create-a-bot">this page</a> for information on how to get one).</p>
<p>To request data from Telegram Passport users, your bot will need to generate a pair of encryption keys.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="#generating-a-private-key" id="generating-a-private-key" name="generating-a-private-key"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Generating a private key</h4>
<p>First, use a console to generate a <strong>private</strong> key:</p>
<pre><code>openssl genrsa 2048 &gt; private.key</code></pre>
<p><strong>WARNING: Keep your private key SECRET!</strong> </p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="#generating-your-public-key" id="generating-your-public-key" name="generating-your-public-key"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Generating your public key</h4>
<p>Then use the console to print the corresponding <strong>public</strong> key:</p>
<pre><code>openssl rsa -in private.key -pubout</code></pre>
<p>Use the <strong>/setpublickey</strong> command with <a href="https://t.me/BotFather">@BotFather</a> to connect this public key with your bot.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="#privacy-policy" id="privacy-policy" name="privacy-policy"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Privacy Policy</h4>
<p>Add a link to your Privacy Policy by using the <strong>/setprivacypolicy</strong> command. Users will see this link when offered to authorize you to access their data.</p>

<p>You can also use the special type "id_document" as an alias for one of "passport", "driver_license", "identity_card" and the special type "address_document" as an alias for one of "utility_bill", "bank_statement", "rental_agreement". 
So <code>{"type":"id_document",selfie:true}</code> is equal to <code>{"one_of":["passport","driver_license","identity_card"],selfie:true}</code>.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="#fields" id="fields" name="fields"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Fields</h4>
<p>Your bot can request personal details, one or several types of identity document, residential address, one or several types of proof of address document, a phone number, or an email address. You can also request optional <strong>selfies</strong> with the document and certified <strong>English translations</strong> of the document.
This is just a list of data types that can be requested, and the encrypted objects that will contain such data.</p>

<p>To decrypt the received data, first, decrypt the credentials contained in <a href="/bots/api#encryptedcredentials">EncryptedCredentials</a>.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Decrypt the credentials secret ( <em>secret</em> field in <a href="/bots/api#encryptedcredentials">EncryptedCredentials</a>) using your <strong>private</strong> key (set OAEP padding option, e.g. <code>OPENSSL_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING</code> in PHP)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use this secret and the credentials hash ( <em>hash</em> field in <a href="/bots/api#encryptedcredentials">EncryptedCredentials</a>) to calculate <em>credentials_key</em> and <em>credentials_iv</em> as described below:</p>
<pre><code> credentials_secret_hash = SHA512( credentials_secret + credentials_hash )
 credentials_key = slice( credentials_secret_hash, 0, 32 )
 credentials_iv = slice( credentials_secret_hash, 32, 16 )</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Decrypt the credentials data ( <em>data</em> field in <a href="/bots/api#encryptedcredentials">EncryptedCredentials</a>) by AES256-CBC using these <em>credentials_key</em> and <em>credentials_iv</em>. <strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> At this step, make sure that the credentials hash is equal to <code>SHA256( credentials_data )</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Credentials data is padded with 32 to 255 random padding bytes to make its length divisible by 16 bytes. The first byte contains the length of this padding (including this byte). Remove the padding to get the data.</p>

<p>To decrypt data, use the corresponding secret and data_hash from <a href="#datacredentials">DataCredentials</a> as described below:</p>
<pre><code> data_secret_hash = SHA512( data_secret + data_hash )
 data_key = slice( data_secret_hash, 0, 32 )
 data_iv = slice( data_secret_hash, 32, 16 )</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use AES256-CBC with this <em>data_key</em> and <em>data_iv</em> to decrypt the data (the <em>data</em> field in <a href="/bots/api#encryptedpassportelement">EncryptedPassportElement</a>). <strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> At this step, make sure that data_hash from the credentials is equal to <code>SHA256( data )</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The data is padded with 32 to 255 random padding bytes to make its length divisible by 16 bytes. The first byte contains the length of the padding (including this byte). Remove padding to get the data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The data is a JSON-serialized object of one of the following types: <a href="#personaldetails">PersonalDetails</a>, <a href="#iddocumentdata">IdDocumentData</a>, <a href="#residentialaddress">ResidentialAddress</a>, depending on <a href="#fields">type</a>.</p>
