On-chain identity, in a careful product definition, can mean a stable identifier and verification surface for a digital record: something a third party can check under clear rules, separate from private documents.
It does not automatically mean legal ownership of real property.
Why identity can matter even without title claims
Property transactions suffer when nobody knows which digital folder is authoritative. A disciplined identity layer can reduce ambiguity about which passport record you mean, while keeping sensitive material permissioned.
Property Passport UK’s framing
Property Passport Blockchain Verification is described as optional and admin-controlled, with eligibility checks and canonical data in Supabase/Postgres. Public-facing language may use Property Identity Shield as the customer label.
