Africa Passport

Get verified. Get discovered. Build trusted networks.

The Africa Passport is a free verified identity and digital profile for a person. It lets someone prove who they are once, connect to people who are verified, and see opportunities matched to a profile they control — using Africa.Inc’s Collective Markets Intelligence and the ODIN head agent.

In build

The passport is in build. Linkage to a national identity is deliberately not part of it yet: that comes only where full regulatory compliance is in place, market by market, and never as a condition of holding a passport.

What the passport carries

  • A verified identity the holder keeps: credentials from issuers who are authorised to issue them.
  • A digital profile the holder controls: skills, sector, market, and what they are looking for.
  • Selective disclosure: prove one claim — over eighteen, resident in a market, holder of a qualification — without handing over the document.
  • Consent bound to purpose and duration, with revocation, and a non-biometric alternative for every holder.

What it opens

  • Trusted networks

    Connect to people and organisations that are verified, so a first contact starts from evidence rather than a claim.

  • Personalised opportunities

    Work, training and market opportunities matched to the profile, with the reason for each match stated.

  • The professional register

    Be listed by role and sector where the holder chooses to be visible, and not listed where they do not.

  • One sign-in across services

    Reuse the same verified identity across approved services rather than enrolling again for each one.

On national identity

Connecting a passport to a national identity is valuable and is planned — it is also the point at which a private platform starts touching sovereign identity. Africa.Inc will do it only in a market where the legal basis is in place, with the identity authority as the issuer rather than Africa.Inc, and it will never be required in order to hold an Africa Passport. Until then the passport carries credentials from issuers who are already authorised to issue them.

How a person opens one

  1. Register

    Give a name, a market and a contact. Registration is open now and costs nothing.

  2. Verify

    Confirm the claims worth proving, from issuers authorised to issue them. Every holder has a non-biometric route.

  3. Publish a profile

    Choose what is visible, to whom, and for how long.

  4. Connect

    Meet verified counterparts and see opportunities matched to the profile.

The Africa Passport is free to the holder. It is an identity and profile product; it is not a bank account, a payment instrument or proof of legal identity in any jurisdiction.
