Governments & Public Sector

Challenges: Governments must provide digital services (eID, e-Gov portals, e-Voting) that are secure, inclusive, and privacy-protective. They face strict regulations (GDPR, national data laws) and need public trust.

ZAKAPI for Government: We provide a national digital ID wallet and verification infrastructure that can scale to entire populations. Public sector agencies can issue digital ID credentials to citizens and residents (e.g., a national ID card, driving license, voter ID) in the Zakapi wallet. Citizens then use these to access services with no passwords and no photocopies; just cryptographic proof of the required attributes (age, address, voter status, etc.).

  • Citizen eID & Single Sign-On: Replace cumbersome login systems with a “Login with National ID” powered by ZAKAPI. Our platform supports integration via SAML or OpenID Connect, meaning you can add Zakapi as a login option on government portals easily. Behind the scenes, it uses the citizen’s DID and verifiable ID credential to authenticate them with high assurance (compliant with eIDAS LoA high).
  • Smart Permits & Licenses: Issue permits (business license, fishing permit, etc.) as verifiable credentials. Verifying a permit or entitlement is as easy as scanning a QR code – the citizen proves the permit is valid and unrevoked without the officer needing to call a database.
  • Social Services & Benefits: Check eligibility for welfare programs or subsidies without invasive paperwork. Zakapi can prove “income below threshold X” or “unemployment status verified” by combining credentials (e.g., tax records or social security data) with ZK proofs. Only the yes/no outcome is revealed, preserving dignity and privacy.
  • E-Voting & Voter ID: Strengthen electoral systems with cryptographic voter verification. Election authorities can issue voter credentials (e.g., “eligible voter in District 5 for 2026 election”). At the poll or online voting portal, the voter uses Zakapi to prove eligibility (and even that they haven’t voted before) without revealing identity to the voting system. ZAKAPI works hand-in-hand with open verifiable voting technologies: for example, our proofs ensure only legitimate voters cast ballots, while systems like Microsoft’s ElectionGuard handle ballot encryption and end-to-end verifiability of the count. The outcome; higher integrity elections that everyone can audit, without compromising voter anonymity.
  • Border Control & Travel: Zakapi credentials can encode passport and visa status. A traveler can prove “I have a valid unexpired passport and a visa for 30-day stay” to an e-gate kiosk with a single proof. This speeds up processing while ensuring authenticity (backed by cryptographic issuer signatures and optional blockchain anchoring for cross-country verification).
  • Compliance and Sovereignty: The government retains full control – the Zakapi platform can be self-hosted in-country, under local data jurisdiction. All code is source-visible for security inspection. We align with government standards like the European EIDAS 2.0 European Digital Identity Wallet framework and emerging standards from bodies like NIST and ISO for digital identity. Zakapi’s approach inherently supports data minimization and privacy by design, which supervisory authorities (like the EU’s privacy regulators) advocate for public digital ID systems.
  • Value Proposition for Government: Enable convenient digital public services without creating new honeypots of personal data. Streamline citizen interactions (no more repeated document submissions) and cut verification costs. Meet the highest standards of security (cryptographic proofs, no single point of failure) and build citizen trust by showing you only request the bare minimum information needed for each service.
Tackle the public sector’s hardest identity problems
Governments must deliver inclusive digital services like eID, e-gov portals and e-voting while complying with strict data protection laws and defending against growing cyber threats. They need to verify citizens with high assurance, avoid building new central data silos and still protect privacy to maintain public trust. Zakapi helps by turning every sensitive check into a privacy-preserving proof, not another copy of personal data.

Empower your government with proof-based digital ID
Zakapi provides a national digital identity wallet and verification infrastructure built for whole populations. Government agencies issue trusted digital credentials for IDs, licences, voter cards and benefits directly to citizens’ wallets. Citizens then access portals, e-government services and kiosks using passwordless logins powered by zero-knowledge proofs, so agencies receive only the attributes they need while personal data stays private and compliant with local regulations.

Secure logins for citizens
Streamline citizen identity verification and single sign-on for government portals and mobile applications. This enhances user experience while protecting sensitive data.
Empower your government with proof based digital identity
Zakapi gives the public sector a national scale digital ID wallet and verification layer that meets the toughest privacy and security requirements. Agencies issue trusted credentials for IDs, licences, benefits and voter status straight to citizens’ wallets, while services consume only cryptographic proofs of the attributes they need. Citizens access portals, e government services and kiosks with passwordless logins instead of photocopies and forms, and the state keeps full sovereignty with an infrastructure that can be self hosted under local law.

Streamline social benefits
Use Zakapi to verify eligibility for welfare programs and subsidies with zero-knowledge proofs. Caseworkers see a simple yes or no on income, residency, or household status, while citizens never have to expose pay slips, tax returns, or medical records; reducing paperwork, speeding decisions, and protecting dignity and privacy.

Fortify elections and voting
Use Zakapi to issue verifiable voter credentials and prove eligibility without exposing voter identities. Each citizen presents a zero-knowledge proof that they are registered, in the right district, and have not voted already, while the ballot remains completely anonymous. Election officials gain cryptographic assurance that only legitimate votes are counted, supporting transparent, auditable results and stronger public trust in every election.
Optimize border control
Use Zakapi to turn passports and visas into verifiable digital credentials that can be checked in seconds. Travelers present a zero-knowledge proof that their document is valid, unexpired, and authorized for entry, without revealing excess personal data. Border agencies gain stronger fraud protection, shorter queues, and a smoother, privacy-preserving travel experience.

Build a compliant digital system
Zakapi gives governments a compliant, sovereign digital identity layer built on open standards. Deploy the platform in national data centers, keep cryptographic keys and logs under local control, and enforce strict data-minimization with zero-knowledge proofs. Every verification produces auditable evidence for regulators, helping you meet GDPR, eIDAS, and sector-specific requirements while preserving citizen privacy by design.

Gain key advantages
Experience lower fraud, faster decisions, reduced verification costs, and higher citizen trust with Zakapi powered digital identity. Launch pilots quickly, then scale to nationwide programs with the same privacy first architecture.
  • Reduced fraud
    Detect and prevent identity abuse by relying on cryptographic proofs instead of photocopied documents or manual checks.

  • Faster case handling
    Reuse trusted credentials across agencies so staff can confirm eligibility in seconds and move cases forward without chasing paperwork.

  • Lower verification costs
    Automate verification workflows, cut back office overhead, and reduce reliance on expensive third party look ups and manual reviews.

  • Stronger citizen trust
    Show residents that services are private by design, minimizing data collection while still meeting strict regulatory and security requirements.
