OneCensus
Registration events, household records and smart ID
From the problem to how we solve it
October 2026
Interactive prototype · synthetic data only
The problem
Lost papers. Split families. An old register.
1
Many people lost their documents through displacement.
2
Families are split across governorates, camps and borders.
3
The population register is out of date and holds duplicates.
Lost papers · Split families · An old register · Everyone counted once

The problem
Our answer
OneCensus
Register every household through planned events at centres and with mobile teams: people pre-register online, are verified and captured on event day, and receive a smart ID card and a digital ID. OneRegistry stays the register of record, and statistics leave only as aggregates.
How it works · 1 of 6
Household first
Pre-register the whole household
With OneCensus, the head of household signs in with OneID and adds everyone, with relationships and marital status.

Old documents
Missing a paper? A witness can vouch.
Old documents are read in Arabic. If a birth certificate is lost, two witnesses or the mukhtar can vouch, and an officer reviews it.

Event day
One visit for the whole family
One appointment covers the household. Consent is read aloud, then face and fingerprints are captured once.

Human decisions
No silent merges
When two records look like the same person, nothing is merged by the machine. A named adjudicator decides and writes down why.

Card quality
Every card read back before release
Smart cards are checked one by one against the chip and its signature, then the digital ID arrives in the OneID wallet.

Aggregates only
Statistics as totals. Never individuals.
Planners see coverage and who is still missed, from a separate store of totals. No one in statistics sees a person’s record.

Built to standards
International standards it is built to
| Standard | What it covers in OneCensus |
|---|---|
| UN Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses, Rev. 3 (2017) | Core population topics |
| UN Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics, Principle 6 (cited in P&R Rev. 3) | Statistical confidentiality |
| UN Principles and Recommendations for a Vital Statistics System, Rev. 3 (2014) | Universal, continuous civil registration; late registration |
| World Bank ID4D Principle 3 | Unique, secure and accurate identity |
| NIST SP 800-63-4 / 800-63A-4 | Identity assurance levels IAL2 and IAL3 |
| NIST SP 800-63A-4 §3.11 · ISO/IEC 30107-3:2023 | Presentation attack detection and biometric consent |
| ICAO Doc 9303 · Parts 5, 10, 11 and 12 | TD1 card, chip data and PKI |
| UN Principles on Personal Data Protection and Privacy (2018) | Purpose specification, proportionality and necessity |
We align with these standards; certification is issued by accredited bodies, not by ITKIT.

Safeguards
What OneCensus will never do
Not a surveillance tool and not the register of record: OneRegistry stays authoritative.
No record is merged or rejected without a named adjudicator, iris is captured only where the law authorises it, statistics are published only as aggregates, and data is never sold.

Delivery
How delivery works
Start small, prove it, then scale and hand over
6–10 weeks
Assess
Map what already exists and decide, system by system: reuse, integrate, modernise or build.
4–6 months
Pilot
OneCensus at one authority, with real users and a measured outcome, on national infrastructure.
12–24 months
Scale
Roll out by region and service, sharing identity, integration and audit.
Agreed per contract
Operate and transfer
We run it with your team, train them, then hand over operations, code escrow and keys.

Durations are typical ranges, fixed per contract
