SIM-registration identity, reusable for the whole relationship.
Capture a verified identity once at SIM registration and reuse it across the subscriber lifecycle — upgrades, mobile money, and re-verification — without storing raw biometrics.
Overview
The shift, in one anchor.
SIM registration is a regulatory cost centre done once and thrown away — the identity captured at the point of sale rarely powers anything else. Civic Anchor turns that mandatory step into a reusable asset: a verified identity anchored to the subscriber’s device.
Capture the biometric ceremony once at an authorised service point; reuse the resulting anchor across upgrades, mobile-money KYC, and re-verification — without retaining raw biometric templates on telco infrastructure.
What you get.
- Regulator-aligned SIM-registration identity at scale
- Reusable across the subscriber relationship
- Mobile-money KYC against the same anchor
- No raw biometric data retained on telco infrastructure
Where it runs.
SIM-registration identity
Run the regulator-aligned registration ceremony at the service point; the verified anchor persists with the subscriber.
Mobile-money KYC
Onboard wallets and tiers against the same anchor — no second identity capture.
Reusable across the lifecycle
Upgrades, SIM swaps, and re-verification reuse the existing anchor with consent.
No biometric liability
Templates stay on the holder’s device — no raw biometric database to breach.
Compliance
Built to the regulator, in jurisdiction.
The SIM-registration ceremony stays inside the regime it serves — RICA-aligned, ICASA-consistent, with no raw biometric template retained on telco infrastructure.
RICA
SIM-registration aligned per the Regulation of Interception of Communications Act, 70 of 2002.
ICASA
Consistent with the authority’s subscriber-registration and continuity expectations.
POPIA
Consent-bound capture; the subscriber controls reuse across the relationship (Act 4 of 2013).
On-device biometrics
Templates stay on the holder’s device — no raw biometric database to breach.
