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 will only need to be done once, 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 HHS portal site to acquire GAONs, and provide for other services. Once a GIN is issued, the Kaldan National Bank will open the account for the citizen, and the representative will then take a photo, and create a NIN ID card. This card will also function as the debit card with the bank.
As noted, the GIN must never be given out unless they call 711 or visit an HHS office personally. 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.
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.
