Our Approach

According to the United Nations and the World Bank, approximately 850 million people around the world do not own a legal identification document.

850 million people who don’t have access to:

Basic civil rights
Social protection
Health care
Education
Economic activities
Political processes

Our Main Goals

Create an inclusive non-authoritative digital identity system
Create a relationship of trust with credible institutions and entities and allow them to attest for the identification of citizens during certain events, for example vaccination or admission to the school year
Collect data in an independent and distributed way
The collected data will constitute the evidence that validates the citizen’s identity
among the entities that they interact with daily
Ensure safety and access to the essential services to all citizens
Lower the number of people without proof of identity
Become legally recognized as an official and authoritative citizen identification solution tool

Key Ideas

Existing traditional, reputable social structures, well-recognized by the population and, in most cases, by the State itself.

Existing non-governmental organizations sometimes replace or complement the State regarding public-service delivery to the population.

In both cases, those entities know the population better, and possess more abundant and advanced technological resources than the State itself.

Those entities can be seen as sources of information, having the potential to enable the design and implementation of a pragmatic digital identity system, aiming at being inclusive, though not being managed by the State.
