In plain words
Telegram Passport is a unified authorization system that allows users to upload identity documents once and securely share them with services requiring personal identification, such as financial platforms or ICOs. The system uses end-to-end encryption, ensuring Telegram cannot access users' personal information. Designed for developers and services needing identity verification, it streamlines the authentication process while maintaining user privacy across multiple platforms.
