Automating administrative procedures. 

Why It Matters

Administrative procedures require the verification and authentication of official documents, which is time-consuming and complex. Digital documents allow automation, freeing civil servants for more useful tasks.

Self-sovereign identity, zero-knowledge proof and digital identity technologies ensure user data is kept secure and private. Standard protocols mean documents can be recognized by different ministries and private operators without databases being shared.

Advantages

• Businesses and citizens securely download and store official documents in digital wallets on their mobile phones. They provide them as required and choose the information they wish to share.
• Governments issue digital documents and create digital identities for users. The documents are verified as part of an automated procedure.

Beneficiaries

Digital government documents are available to any government that issues or requires official documents as part of their administrative processing. It can be implemented within existing laws.
