Romania’s National Institute for Informatics Research and Development (ICI) has announced a new national program that uses blockchain technology to access, transfer and store its citizens’ official documents.
Dubbed the “Romanian State-Issued Personal Documents and Assets System” (NSIDA), the ultimate goal of the project is to improve the ease of access and management of basic government documents such as birth certificates, driver’s licenses, and land and property deeds.
NFTs will be the medium for storing such documents, and this work will also include the launch of an exclusive and secure NFT app where citizens will be able to obtain verified government documents without having to travel to official offices to collect them in person.
