Civil registry event : Cards Secure Connections

DIGITECH took part in Cards Secure Connections Event on November 19, 2015, the world’s leading trade show for secure payment, identification and mobility.

Setting up a civil registry and ensuring a reliable identity for citizens provides the foundations needed for national development.
The United Nations General Assembly therefore approved new sustainable development objectives, one of which is to ensure that each citizen has a legal identity by 2030.
Over the last 30 years and more, we have seen a number of different approaches to issues related to identities and civil registries, without necessarily taking a comprehensive approach. Programs are in fact often carried out either to handle identities (emitting documents, registration on voter lists, etc.), or for purely statistical purposes (recording births). While the immediate result was obtained (such as a successful election), these programs did not include a sustainable solution that would enable maintaining an accurate and complete civil registry. The result is a very low recording rate for not only births, but also deaths and marriages.
Based on this observation, the French government body CIVIPOL conducted a joint analysis with key industry service providers and manufacturers DIGITECH and MORPHO which proposes an integrated approach to support reforms, to strengthen foreign government capabilities, and to implement the appropriate infrastructures, for both software and hardware.
