One Identity, Many Countries
No more managing different identity documents for different countries. Your myID works across African borders.
For Individuals
For Individuals
One identity that works across African borders. Your myID gives you control over your personal data while enabling trusted interactions.
Recognition depends on participating jurisdictions
Recognition depends on participating jurisdictions
myID complements your national identity — it does not replace it. Cross-border recognition applies where the relevant governments have established a trust arrangement. Where a transaction is consent-based, you control what is disclosed; some government-mandated uses may rely on another lawful basis. myID does not promise acceptance in every country.
