Bhutan launches biometric digital ID

Bhutan’s government has launched the new national digital ID system (NDI). NDI is a digital wallet that uses state-of-the-art technologies to provide citizens with secure and verifiable ID credentials.

It is built using a self-sovereign identity model based on decentralized ID technology which gives users greater control over their ID and allows them to choose who they can share personal data

Bhutan’s seven-year-old crown prince His Royal Highness Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck led the way as the first Bhutanese to be enrolled into the country’s new national digital ID system (NDI).

Authorities of Bhutan’s government technology agency (GovTech) have said that the launch of the NDI is a major move forward within the framework of the country’s digital transformation ambitions.
