What is Yoti?
YOTI is a form of digital ID that enables us to verify your identity.
This system has been adopted by the Government of Jersey to make it easier and more secure to access government services online (e.g. online tax returns) and in person.
It’s quick and easy to sign up to. Go to www.yoti.com to register.
When you go to purchase your ticket, you will be asked to sign in with YOTI. If you have the app already on your phone, simply scan the QR code. If you do not yet have an account, you can set one up on your smart phone or tablet.
