Nansen.ID | Redefining Borderless Digital Identity

For Dissidents, Refugees & Exiles

Centralized identity endangers privacy and locks billions out of the digital economy. Borders, silos, and slow compliance limit freedom and innovation.

🛠️ What's broken:

Geopolitically unstable modern world & Refugee crisis

Federated logins track users across services

Global onboarding remains slow and fragmented

KYC/AML is slow, costly, and exclusionary for 1B+ people

Users surrender control of PII and digital movement

🧲 Our Vision

Self-sovereign identity, owned and controlled by you
AI-driven compliance (KYCC, pKYC, OSINT), in real time
Global, reusable, cross-chain credentials
Open-source, audited, trustless by design
No more digital borders. No more lock-in.

Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) For Stateless People

🪪

Real-world Problems Focused

Control your own identity. Issue, store, and share credentials privately; revoke them at will, without vendors or silos.

🔏

Useful & Reusable

Verifiable Credentials (VCs), cryptographically-secure proofs. Share only what you want, when you want—across borders and industries.

👁️‍🗨️

Compliance Officers Focused

Selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs by default. No unnecessary data leaks, surveillance, or tracking.

🌐

Global Governments DIDs (Friend-not-Foe) Interoperability

Existing governments' digital identity systems integration. Move seamlessly between jurisdictions, platforms, and digital realms.

🤖

AI-Driven Compliance (KYCC, pKYC, OSINT, EDD)

Perpetual KYC, Know Your Customer's Customer, Enhanced Due Diligence and OSINT. AI automates risk, onboarding, and global regulatory checks in seconds.

🔬

Open Source & Audited

Community transparency and cross-checks, modular SDKs, audited code—every primitive is visible and hackable for the next generation of identity builders.

IDs Should Be Accepted First

ZK-proofs, decentralized, etc - second. Sure, identity.global is built on the principles and standards of W3C Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). But zero acceptance means zero usage (and nobody care about your downloads and tokens issued.

👤

Holder

You control keys and credentials—stored securely in your wallet. Choose what to share, revoke at any time.

🏛️

Issuer

Trusted entities (visa centers, voting, agreements, banks, universities, apps) issue digital credentials you're free to use globally.

🛡️

Verifier

Organizations simply verify cryptographic proofs, not documents. Instant, privacy-respecting onboarding, anywhere.

Zero-knowledge proofs mean no one needs to know any more than necessary. Your age, not your birthdate. Your citizenship, not your address.
