Dozens of digital identity schemes have now been launched or are underway around the world at both national and regional levels, and across the public and private sectors. Yet to date, there is no known scheme considered truly interoperable across borders.
Interoperability is crucial for a fair and inclusive digital society. In the same way payments can be made across borders, we need mechanisms in place to assure people that they’ll be able to prove their identity online and offline, whenever needed.
Who we are
17 major non-profit organizations active in digital identity have launched SIDI Hub to define what is needed to achieve cross-border interoperability for digital identity.
To promote a common understanding of what cross-border interoperability means and define a shared approach and roadmap for success, the SIDI Hub held its first summit in November 2024.
120+ digital identity experts from governments representing 22 countries, multilaterals, standard organizations, and non-profits attended, including representatives from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), UN agencies and the World Bank.
The SIDI Hub Strategy for 2024
Over 90% of participants agreed that the work started at the SIDI Hub summit must continue in 2024.
Building on our inaugural meeting, the SIDI Hub co-organizing non-profits have been hard at work shaping our strategy for 2024 and beyond.
We’ve compiled a strategy deck to guide our efforts in 2024, which you can download below.
Your feedback is crucial to us, so please don’t hesitate to share here your comments and inputs by April 5th, 2024.

The group is organizing a series of virtual and in-person meetings this year to progress the roadmap, and invites all organizations involved in the development, adoption and implementation of digital identity solutions to add their voice to this important work.
