STARid

STARid is a digital identity platform developed by the Singapore government. It aims to provide a secure and convenient way for citizens and residents to access government services and other digital platforms. STARid allows users to create a unique digital identity that can be used across various applications, eliminating the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords.

The platform utilizes a combination of advanced security measures, including multi-factor authentication, to protect user data and prevent unauthorized access. Users can verify their identity through a streamlined process, often leveraging existing government-issued identification. STARid is designed to be interoperable, meaning it can be integrated with services from both public and private sectors, enhancing the overall digital experience.

The development of STARid is part of Singapore's broader strategy to build a Smart Nation, where digital technologies are used to improve the lives of citizens. The platform emphasizes user privacy and control over personal data, allowing individuals to manage what information is shared with different services. This digital identity solution seeks to simplify interactions with the digital world, making it more accessible and efficient for everyone.
