Residency, entitlement, and cross-border trader identity.
Anchor residency and clearance for entitlement and enrolment, and issue the trader identity that cross-border trade needs — with data held in-jurisdiction under your own regulator.
Overview
The shift, in one anchor.
Governments need to verify residency and entitlement without building another central biometric database — and AfCFTA cross-border trade needs a trader identity that crosses borders without surrendering data to any single state. Civic Anchor provides both, with data held in-jurisdiction.
Anchor residency and clearance for entitlement, enrolment, and social programmes; issue the AfCFTA Trader Trust Passport that lets a trader prove origin, business registration, and identity at any border post — cryptographically. Civic Anchor integrates with national ID systems; it never replaces them.
What you get.
