Context-aware validation

An application executed on a client device displays a user interface that receives input related to outputting credential information, wherein the application is configured to manage credentials that are associated with a validation system. The application receives, through the user interface, first user input to output a representation of a first credential in a manner that enables a credential authority to validate the representation. In response to receiving the first user input, the application identifies a location of the client device. The application determines whether the location of the client device is associated with a first region where the first credential is enabled for validation. In response to determining that the location of the client device is associated with the first region where the first credential is enabled for validation, the application displays, on the user interface, the representation of the first credential.
