Orígenes, Global & Inclusive Digital ID.
Long distances to civil registration offices are one of the most common barriers. At Orígenes we are committed to solving this by providing a remote service to get an ID,shortening distances.The process is simple, starts when a person sends an SMS to Orígenes platform with personal data and geografic location. Received and stored in blockchain,a pair public/private key number as digital ID is issued, where public key is sent as answer. At this time a person has limited privileges like consulting in a health center. A state officer must confirm personal and biometric data, being responsible to define how to achieve this.To finish the process the person receives the private key and 12 words recovery list and local NID.This is achieved through the use of smart contracts, executed on the blockchain platform.We will issue a superlative change in people's life and it is scaled globally.
The problem we want to solve is the long distances to the civil registration office that does not allow a person to manage an identity.
World Bank statistics inform one Billion unregistered persons worldwide, in Latin America & Caribbean there are 33.8 Millions. In Many Caribbean countries, more than 50% are unregistered women. In Latin America countries like Paraguay and Bolivia have 20% of its population unregistered.
Long distance required to travel to access the nearest offices of civil registration issuing lack of workday and economic costs. In some regions, those women that travel with children represent a barrier, being both endangered and limiting the possibility to get an identity. Managing an ID by SMS will solve those situations.
People are not aware of the importance of having an ID, and the services that they don’t achieve, being invisible for the State (country). SMS costs must be paid by governments, allowing access to anyone spite of his or her economic situation to request an ID.
Orígenes is an inclusive digital identity platform, available to everyone.
Improve communications, brings traceability of events and online reports are provided.
Doubtless, the scale of the problem is global, our solution as well.
The road may become full of obstacles for those who do not have a legal identity. Orígenes is here to change this, showing a disruptive way, offering a secure service to apply/receive a legal ID. The target population are those who live far from a civil registration office and vulnerable people.
The impact in their life will be superlative. People will be able to access those services and social coverage that are not accessible without an ID, avoiding time spent travelling to register offices.
We are convinced that Geographical proximity and the similarity of our cultures will enable a very good implementation of the functional case, a successful proof of concept in Paraguay, Canindeyú city.
We have been researching troubles that people face a day due to lack of identity and several types of violence that they are exposed to. Especially women that sometimes don't have money or “the permission”. Many of them even don't realize the importance of getting an ID.
Orígenes provide a person an immediate solution to access basic services like health or education. By bringing the office closer to the community we help build social justice and reduce inequalities, changing people's lives in a short time.
- How can countries ensure that everyone—especially vulnerable and marginalized groups—are able to apply/register for an ID in a way that protects people’s health, data, and the integrity of the ID system?
The solution lines up with the target of this challenge because its focus is to provide a service to a portion of the population that has been historically left behind, being most affected girls and women and has no access to the bureaucratic services for different reasons, such as the geographic dispersion, and so on.
Orígenes use public blockchain, a decentralized, immutable data store and secure technology, joined with Short Message service to grant a feasible solution and mobile access through coverage area for the final user, without almost any exception. The system is replicable, allowing it to scale globally.
