# Wallet

Each Dentity user will have a corresponding wallet. This wallet will be used to save credentials that are issued by the issuer through Dentity. You can see more about how a credential is added to a wallet [here](/reference/wallets-and-credentials/api-endpoints/credential.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
A user will be created when you call API to create a wallet successfully. If the user already has a Dentity wallet, the API will return the wallet ID.
{% endhint %}

## Create Wallet 

<mark style="color:green;">`POST`</mark> `https://api.dentity.com/core/api/v1/programmatic/wallet`

This is the first step in the process. A Dentity wallet must be created before any credentials can be issued to the wallet holder. &#x20;
