Verifiable Credentials Issuance

Social Registry can issue credentials in the form of Verifiable Credentials (VC). Upon authentication, these can be downloaded into the beneficiary's digital wallet or printed on paper as a QR code. These credentials indicate that the individual is the member of the Social Registry. Credentials are sometimes also referred to as e-cards, Farmer Registry e-Card, etc.

Feature and functionality

• Social Registry exposes OpenID for VCI APIs. A wallet can use these APIs to retrieve the VCs.

• The content inside the VC can be configured without modifying the code.

• Any functional/foundational ID can be configured for authentication. For example, if the Registry contains National IDs (or National ID tokens) of individuals, and a valid eSignet authentication mechanism (or similar) exists against the given National ID, then the credential can be issued.

  • Future possibilities: If the Social Registry generates a unique ID, then that can be used to authenticate and retrieve the credential.

Bulk VC issuance is not supported.
