The GIN (Government Issuance Number) is created at birth, but not provided to the citizen (or parents) until the citizen needs the number. To assure that no other person acquires a citizen’s GIN, a DNA scan is done to prove authenticity. At birth, a child’s DNA test will be issued to collect the needed genetics for biometrics. That scan will be inserted into the HHS database which generates a GIN. This means that not even a parent can acquire the GIN of the child.
If the child needs an account in their name, but under the responsibility of the guardian (such as telephone service), the guardian can acquire a special GAON which will require both the child’s and guardian’s ID card. This will continue until the guardian terminates the line, or until the child receives their GIN, and therefore have to acquire a GAON for all of the services that are under their name. When it comes time for the child to acquire their GIN, they will go to the HHS office where a worker will take a cheek swab of the person, and verify that with AI and a database for verification. If the two matches, then the worker will prepared everything the person will need.
The worker will emphasize to the person that the GIN should never be given to anyone including significant others. Gaining the GIN will allow a bad actor to do a lot of damage including transferring GBI payments to another account, or otherwise close accounts through the government portal. This is because the automated system with the government has no way of verifying the DNA. The GIN is a compliment to DNA comparison. The only entity that the GIN should be disclosed to is a government agent, or telephone number. All government telephone numbers begin with 1.
Once the person receives their GIN, they will be able to setup a government ID account. If they have a smartphone, they will be encouraged to setup 2FA to authenticate the person so even if a bad actor gets the GIN and password combination, they will need the person’s device to authenticate. If the person has a notebook computer, they will be able to do this setup on their device with assistance to the HHS worker. If they have a smartphone, the HHS worker will be able to guide them in setting up their government app on the phone.
