A VHL Holder initiates a request to a VHL Sharer to generate a Verified Health Link (VHL) that references one or more health documents. The resulting VHL allows the Holder to subsequently share access to those documents with a VHL Receiver. The Holder MAY include optional parameters to constrain or protect the issued VHL-such as defining an expiration period, scoping which documents are included, or requiring a passcode for retrieval. These parameters guide the Sharer's issuance of the VHL and influence the conditions under which the associated documents may be accessed.

Preconditions:

- The VHL Holder SHALL trust that the VHL Sharer has been authorized by its jurisdiction to generate VHLs and to provide access to the corresponding health documents.
- Optionally, the VHL Holder has selected consent directives or selective disclosure preferences, as permitted by the applicable content profile.

These requirements apply to the actor VHL Holder
