BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications (MTIC), introduced Brunei Identiti Digital (BruneiID), a national digital identity system, designed to function as an electronic form of personal identification, enabling citizens and residents to securely authenticate their identity when accessing government online services via a unified login mechanism supported by biometric authentication.
According to a joint statement from MoHA and MTIC, the initiative reflects the Government of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam’s commitment to strengthening national digital governance and facilitating public access to government digital services that are secure, convenient, and user-friendly.
Developed based on robust security and privacy principles, biometric authentication is carried out locally on the user’s device, while personal data is protected in accordance with government-established security and data protection standards.
During the initial stage of implementation, BruneiID will support identity verification based on identity card information for access to selected government digital platforms, including the Public Service Commission Recruitment (PSC), the Business Reporting portal, TransportBN, BruHealth, E-Undi, and the Talian Darussalam 123 (TD123) mobile application.
Other government digital services will be integrated in phases to ensure an orderly implementation aligned with government, security, and data protection requirements, in line with the nation’s public service digital transformation and the national digital economy framework.
Registration for BruneiID can be completed via the BruneiID mobile application, available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store from today. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
