The Problem
Millions Are<br>Locked Out of<br>Their Own Lives
The unseen dangers of the state monopoly on identity
Nation-states routinely refuse to issue birth certificates, national ID cards and passports for people, most often due to their circumstances of birth, rather than their own actions as an adult.
Lack of government ID currently excludes millions of people from employment, housing, healthcare, education and more.
Currently there are no alternatives, no appeals, no last resort. Innocent people are shut out of society for life, with no way to earn freedom.
State Monopoly
Nation-states hold an exclusionary monopoly on identity. You are judged not on your character, beliefs, and actions, but solely on where you were born and who your parents were.
Vicious Circle
It's illegal not to have ID, but no jurisdiction agrees to issue one for you. There are no last resorts, no alternatives, no way to earn a legal identity from scratch as an adult.
Shut Out of Society
Millions of people worldwide are unfairly excluded from employment, housing, healthcare and education, despite their skills or efforts.<br>Banned not due to their actions, but due to accident of birth.
The Right to Exist
"You may think economic exclusion - banned from employment, housing, healthcare, education, banking, travel, contracts, mail, sim cards and more - would be a punishment for only the most severe of crimes. But for stateless people, refugees, victims of abuse and people who weren’t registered at birth, it is a punishment for being born."

Disclaimer
ID requirements do more harm than good and should not be seen as a viable solution for trust or authentication.
For most of human history, people did not need a signed certificate from the King to order to live their lives, and self-declaration was the norm.
Even today, transactions can be done anonymously, under a self-chosen name, or via a bearer instrument such as cash or Monero, or a ticket or membership card. Authentication can be achieved via passwords, keys or signatures, and trust via reputation, memberships, deposits or escrows.
