Currently, approximately 40% of its population are undocumented and lack any formal identity. This group is therefore unable to access government support.

Beginning with a population census, ANIES plans to provide all citizens with a legal identity during 2021 through an ambitious biometric registration program. Once enrolment is completed, citizens will be provided with a legal identity and a 'beneficiary card' providing access to a range of financial services and social rights.

A universal interoperability framework, OSIA provides open standard interfaces (APIs) to connect the building blocks of an identity management ecosystem. OSIA unleashes market innovation, facilitates the implementation of multi-vendor programs and enables identity as a service.
