Rotating Virtual ID

Refreshes like a banking CVV

Allocated at birth

Birth certificate processed at the hospital before discharge — PUIN issued on day one.

Encrypted & linked

One credential across health, education, licensing, and property — under strict access controls.

Rotating virtual ID

A dynamic security layer protects every payment — like a banking-app CVV.

Cross-border by design

One number follows citizens across Southern Africa — no re-registration needed.

How it works

From hospital bed to national database in minutes.

A registrar clerk captures biometrics on-site; PUIN is issued; health, civil registry, and tax records are linked from that moment onward.
