DRC's 110M-Citizen Digital ID Project Wins Global Recognition

Kinshasa, DRC — The Democratic Republic of Congo’s bold digital transformation effort has captured the world’s attention. At the 2025 Africa-Singapore Business Forum, Trident Digital Tech Holdings, the Singapore-based partner behind the “DRC Pass” project, received international recognition for building one of the most ambitious digital identity systems on the continent.

Launched in June 2025 under a public-private partnership model, DRC Pass aims to provide a secure, blockchain-based digital identity to all 110 million Congolese citizens, a monumental step toward digital inclusion, governance reform, and public service modernization.

Singapore’s Minister Grace Fu called it a model for global collaboration and “digital public infrastructure for the future.”

“DRC Pass is not just a tech project. It’s a civil rights revolution. For the first time, millions will have a secure, verifiable identity to access services,” said Trident’s CEO.

What Makes DRC Pass a Game-Changer?

The platform delivers four core services:

• Biometric SIM registration to eliminate fraud and ghost accounts

• A Single Sign-On portal for government services

• Digital payment integration

• A secure identity vault using Trident’s proprietary Tridentity blockchain
