Papua New Guinea (PNG) announces drafting Verifiable Credentials Bill

2026-05-22  Per Henrikson

The legislation is expected to underpin the national rollout of digital identity platforms including SevisPass, SevisWallet, and SevisDEx, along with other approved verifiable credentials. The framework draws on international models such as India’s DigiLocker, Singapore’s Singpass, Estonia’s e-ID system, UAE Pass, Saudi Arabia’s Absher/Nafath, Brazil’s gov.br, Argentina’s Mi Argentina, and the European Union’s eIDAS 2.0 Digital Identity Wallet initiative.
