A country’s identification system is the backbone for effective delivery of
public and private services. Governments are exploring the development of
multipurpose foundational ID systems, in which individuals receive a unique
identifier from the government that they can use for identity assertion and
verification. The foundational ID can then be used to access a wide variety of
government and private services. As countries consider how best to build
foundational ID systems, they face several policy and technological choices.
Once these choices are made, countries often grapple with some common
implementation challenges. These include ensuring uniqueness in the system,
interoperability, privacy by design reaching scale, avoiding vendor lock-in and
maintaining affordability.
