Portuguese technology will facilitate the access to identification documents by citizens across the world
According to the UN and the World Bank, approximately one billion people worldwide do not own a legal identification document, an obstacle that can limit their access to essential services, such as healthcare and education. The IDINA - Inclusive Non-Authoritative Digital Identity, led by the Institute for Systems and Computers Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), aims to create an effective and inclusive identification platform open to all citizens, in countries that do not have central identification systems (civil registration infrastructures).
