# NSIdentityUsageDescriptionDictionary

A dictionary that contains messages that explain why your app is requesting identity information.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this key when you have multiple scenarios for requesting identity information from a person. Provide a description string for each use case, and key each entry with a string that you define. For example, if your app needs age verification for one feature and identity verification for another, use a separate dictionary entry for each purpose. In each description string, describe the reason the feature requires identity information. The following image shows two description strings that use NSIdentityUsageDescriptionDictionary.

note: The dictionary allows up to 5 entries, and each usage description string allows up to 256 characters. For more information about requesting identity information, see Requesting identity data from a Wallet pass. For design guidance, see Human Interface Guidelines > Technologies > Wallet.
