The GIN (Government Issuance Number) is created at birth, but not provided to the citizen (or parents) until the citizen needs the number. This will likely be to open a bank account, or getting a driver’s licence. Because of the nature of the GIN, and how powerful it is, it is never disclosed to anyone other than the citizen that the number was assigned too. This number assures identity to the HHS and other government agencies as required. To prove authentication of identity, a retina scan will be done as soon as possible, and while the child has a health1 card. While invasive, retina scanning is unique, and can even define as a difference from identical twins. The retina scan will be done, and that information sent over a secured network to HHS which will then create a GIN.
When the citizen needs their GIN, they will go to an HHS office, get their scan to prove identity, and then sit down with a representative where they will be provided their GIN, and emphasize on how important it is the keep this number secret. They will also setup a password which they will use to log into the government’s portal site to acquire GAONs, and provide for other services. Once a GIN is issued, the Kaldan National Bank will activate the account for the citizen, and the representative will give all of the paperwork to the citizen.
As noted, the GIN must never be given out unless they call or visit the government. This is because knowing one’s GIN and password can lead to a lot of financial issues, and cause headaches with bad actors using the information for nefarious purposes. This could have a layer of protection to where unrecognized devices will require using a smartphone’s authenticator app to make it as hard as possible to get access into the account. This is because even if the bad actor somehow acquired your GIN, and password, they do not have your device to get the authenticator code.
Because the GIN required an retina scan to provide proof of identity, this assures that only the correct person can receive the GIN. This assures security with the number, and while retina scans are expensive and invasive, it is not so bad to get proof of identity. Once a child receives their GIN, the GOCN will no longer be active. The person will be responsible for their own accounts from that point on. Since the child will get a small stipend from the government, they can cover their phone bill, and transit costs. The guardian will still be responsible for the child’s well being even if the child can do things for themselves.
