This marks the first time a Five Eyes nation has integrated vaccine pass infrastructure directly into a comprehensive government digital ID system. The selection of Mattr, which developed the My Vaccine Pass, creates an unprecedented bridge between pandemic-era restrictions and permanent digital control mechanisms. This evolution from health passes to total government service access represents a critical shift in digital identity implementation.

📰 What Happened
New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs has selected Mattr and Dave Clark NZ to develop a comprehensive digital ID and government services app. The system will enable digital payments, credential storage, and agency communications through smartphones. Mattr, previously involved in NZ's vaccine pass system, will provide digital wallet technology emphasizing user privacy. The initial version launches in late 2025, coinciding with the new Digital Identity Services Trust Framework implementation. Deputy CDO Myles Ward emphasizes 'world-class' security standards.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The alliance between New Zealand's government and Mattr demonstrates the prophetic pattern of Western nations centralizing control through technology companies that previously managed crisis-response systems. This partnership reveals how the infrastructure for marking and tracking populations (Rev 13) evolves from healthcare to financial services to complete government control. The Digital Identity Services Trust Framework's implementation, combined with Mattr's existing biometric capabilities, establishes a template for how democratic nations will voluntarily adopt systems that enable future global control structures. The integration with digital payments particularly aligns with prophetic warnings about economic control systems.
