In the Caribbean, because of scamming and fraud, opening an account at any financial institution or like place requires several documents and oft making a visit to an authority figure (Justice of the Peace) to verify address and for character reference. On average you will need your TRN (Tax Registration Number (SSN basically), some form of photo identification, address verification, references, proof of income) and the list can go on depending on what you're trying to accomplish. We're basically trying to make an opt in service that can make procuring these relatively painless by grouping all relevant parties and then keeping these on record. A glorified KYC of sorts and then looking to use these as means of authenticating (I should be able to use my profile to sign up anywhere or transfer to my data (or parts thereof) to another party. Lots more to flush out but we have a good grasp of where we're going and what we want to achieve. Our government has tried to do this in the past but failed at getting it past the courts due to privacy concerns and are set to try again. I skimped on some details but the idea should be clear. As well as new data protection laws introduced/proposed with more amendments to come, it's a simple but interesting problem at this point in time in navigating everything including how we do our own verification, security and eventual licensing to achieve the desired outcome.
