Bhutan has pioneered a self-sovereign identity (SSI) system that revolves around a digital wallet offering five levels of integration.

allows users to access government services with a single sign-on function.

# data[].attributes.body
facilitates data exchange through proof requests and verifiable credentials (VCs) issuance

# data[].attributes.body
handles complex proof requests such as Know Your Customer (KYC) processes using multiple VCs.

enables cross-border collaborations, including a partnership with India’s Digi Yatra to incorporate boarding passes into Bhutan’s digital wallets.

includes the addition of an AI layer.

Biometrics is crucial in Bhutan’s digital ID system, particularly facial recognition for identity verification. The next release of the app may also include contactless fingerprint scanning. Bhutan has explored various biometric modalities, such as fingerprints, facial scans, irises, palms, and finger veins

# data[].attributes.body
aligns with the principles of self-sovereign identity, giving users control over their data and the ability to consent for specific periods. Data is not stored centrally, and users can request the deletion of their data, including by the government

In the [National Digital Identity] system, if others want to see Bhutanese people' s data, only government can disclose it to them. If it is for medical purposes, only the patients can disclose their data to the doctor from my wallet.”

create easier access to government services such as issuing passports. The ID and other credentials will be available in a smartphone digital wallet with fingerprints and face biometrics required for identity authentication.

# data[].attributes.body
the country started working on SSI only about 2 years ago. The national digital identity credential is served from a digital wallet produced by the agency, and launched with the enrollment of Bhutan’s crown prince in February.

# data[].attributes.body
establishing digital identity and other digital public infrastructure among developing nations, and digital wallets and SSI in both the world’s rich and poorer nations all converge in the story of how tiny Bhutan leapfrogged most of the world to set up a cost-effective, decentralized digital ID with a small team amidst practical constraints.

# data[].attributes.body
Bhutan’s digital ID uses a trust register which lists schemas and who can issue and verify credentials

# data[].attributes.body
Bhutan is amongst the poorest and least-developed countries in the world, ranked 134th out of 203 by the United Nations Development Programme.

# data[].attributes.body
In the case of a cancelled credential, a revocation agent updates the credential, rather than the relying party referring to a revocation registry.

# data[].attributes.body
The NDI was created by the Digital Identity Act to take over the digital ID platform, and the Act provides the specifications for a digital ID regulator. NDI is owned by DHI, which Bhutan’s Department of Finance is the sole shareholder of. The government is funding NDI through next June, but has appointed an independent CEO and is establishing an independent board of directors.

As the penetration rate increases, public engagement is key, so Bhutan NDI has its own YouTube channel to communicate with the populace. The agency had to train people to teach others, had to write an FAQ, and perhaps most challenging of all, had to teach Bhutan’s people what SSI is.

Usefulness is another key to the adoption plan. There are about 20 partners for level 1 of the wallet (the SSO capability), and 6 level 2 partners (for credential exchanges). The plan for the next release is to increase those partner numbers to 50 and 25, respectively.
