Bhutan National Digital Identity (NDI) is a digital identity solution that provides reusable and verifiable credentials to Bhutanese citizens and residents. Bhutan NDI’s ecosystem has been designed on the principles of self-sovereign identity (SSI), leveraging Decentralized Identifier (DID) technology, which allows individuals to maintain greater control over their personal information.
Bhutan NDI, at its core, embodies the following mandates:
- Provide Bhutanese citizens and residents with a cutting-edge digital identity system to access government and commercial services seamlessly, safely, and conveniently.
- Future-proof national digital infrastructure by creating a long-term, resilient digital identification model.
- Inspire a connected tech service ecosystem that reaches all Bhutanese from remote rural communities to urban centers, ensuring equitable access to services.
