Like rest of the world’s technology leading countries, Thailand is progressing rapidly with enrollment into its blockchain-based biometric digital identity infrastructure operated by the National Digital ID Company Limited (NDID).
Now half the population is eligible to be part of the system as it readies to introduce verifiable credentials and a digital wallet.
Rather than the Thai government building a national digital ID system, it created a way to link service providers and identity providers (IDPs) to allow the digital sector to flourish and innovate. It also decided not to be as directly involved, establishing a private company to oversee the project.
