📰 What Happened
New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs announced plans to tender a contract for a digital credential issuance platform, with the RFP closing July 29, 2025. The system will implement international standards for digital ID verification, building on their Digital Identity Services Trust Framework finalized in November 2024. The platform will incorporate face biometrics from Daon and is open to international vendors. This follows their June 2025 civil registration market engagement and April infrastructure tender.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The DIA's integration of facial biometrics from Daon with internationally standardized digital credentials demonstrates the rapid consolidation of economic control systems. This platform's ability to issue standardized digital credentials that can be recognized across borders aligns with prophecies about centralized economic governance. The inclusion of international vendors suggests movement toward unified global standards for identity verification - a crucial prerequisite for implementing worldwide economic controls. The timing coincides with similar digital ID initiatives in Scotland and NHS, indicating coordinated advancement of these systems across Western nations.
