National identity operations team reviewing an enrolment and identity workflow

Solution · National Identity Infrastructure

Digital Identity Infrastructure .

A sovereign identity foundation that takes a citizen from first application to verified, reusable identity, with the authority control, biometric assurance and service governance a national programme needs.

The identity programme needs an operating system, not just an enrolment app.

Trust is earned after capture as much as during it. The authority needs a clear view of applications, records, duplicate-search decisions, approvals, National ID allocation, credential production and the evidence behind each step.

Polaris is the operational centre of that model. It gives authorised teams the workspace to run the identity lifecycle while BioEnrol, GovPass and X-Bridge provide the specialised experiences around it.

One trusted journey, from first application to useful identity.

Each platform has a distinct job. Together they create a controlled national identity lifecycle that citizens, enrolment teams, programme operators and relying services can understand and govern.

  1. Polaris pre-enrolment record with biographical data and submission evidence01

    Prepare the citizen journey

    Start online, through an assisted channel or at a field enrolment point. Polaris keeps the application and status visible before an officer begins capture.

  2. BioEnrol review screen with identity evidence, biometrics and citizen signature02

    Capture the identity evidence

    BioEnrol guides the operator through the programme-defined sequence for biographics, face, fingerprints, iris, documents and signature.

  3. Polaris ABIS processing workflow for an identity enrolment03

    Search the identity population

    Polaris makes the ABIS decision path operational: submit, search the approved population, review potential conflicts and preserve the result as part of the identity record.

  4. Polaris citizen record after approval and National ID allocation04

    Approve, allocate and issue

    After the programme decision, allocate the National ID, manage the citizen record and move the credential or physical-card workflow forward.

  5. GovPass verified identity response for a relying service05

    Put verified identity to work

    GovPass and X-Bridge make the approved identity usable in citizen, public-sector and approved regulated service journeys without distributing a shadow copy of the registry.

Polaris progressing an enrolment through biometric duplicate processing

Assurance before issuance

A duplicate decision is a governed workflow, not a background checkbox.

A record can move through biometric ingestion, fingerprint de-duplication, iris template matching, face matching and a final report. The programme determines the policy and review path; Polaris presents the operational state and keeps the decision traceable.

Face, fingerprint and iris can be combined where policy requires.

Capture quality is assessed before a record is accepted.

Possible matches and final results belong in the identity record and its audit trail.

A solution made of clear, connected products.

National identity programmes become difficult when every channel makes its own isolated version of the citizen record. Axon’s product roles are deliberately distinct, so the programme can design the journey and keep responsibility clear.

Sovereignty and accountability

Every consequential identity action should have an accountable record.

A national identity programme is a public trust programme. Data authority, role-based access, policy controls, audit, retention, resilience, inclusion and independent oversight should be designed into the operating model from the beginning.

Policy-defined access

Control who may act, what they may see and the purpose for every request.

Traceable biometric decisions

Preserve biometric evidence, requested match type, modalities, outcome and confidence in the citizen record.

Sovereign deployment options

Deploy on premise, in sovereign or national cloud, or in a hybrid model that meets programme requirements.

Useful identity without uncontrolled copies

Release approved results through GovPass and X-Bridge rather than replicating the registry.

What is Axon Digital Identity Infrastructure?
It is the national identity solution that connects citizen journey management, multi-modal biometric enrolment, duplicate detection, authority operations, credential issuance and governed use of verified identity across services.
What role does Polaris play in a national identity programme?
Polaris is the authority operations layer. The demonstrated workflow manages pre-enrolments, ABIS queue processing, approvals, citizen records, National ID allocation and physical-card production queues.
Can the solution use face, fingerprint and iris together?
Yes. BioEnrol can guide an operator through the modality mix a programme defines. The demonstrated National ID workflow includes face quality and liveness signals, ten-print capture with per-finger NFIQ2 review, and both-eye iris capture.
Does a relying service receive biometric templates?
No. GovPass and X-Bridge are designed to return the approved verification result or permitted attribute for a stated purpose. They are not mechanisms for distributing raw biometric evidence or creating uncontrolled copies of the registry.
How can it be deployed?
Axon can support on-premise, sovereign or national-cloud, and hybrid deployment models. The right design depends on legal authority, residency requirements, operating model, existing systems and the programme’s assurance goals.
