Identity is the cornerstone of travel. This session will explore developments in legal identity systems, biometric enrolment, foundational registries, and remote proofing. It will focus on how secure digital identities, when rooted in civil registries and supported by biometrics, are enabling robust and trustworthy document issuance. Case studies will examine how States are building integrated identity ecosystems that can serve both national and international purposes.
