Palau Digital Residency

The Palau Digital Residency Program is the world’s first sovereign-backed blockchain-native digital identity platform. It is NOT a visa, but a means of identification and it does NOT allow you to reside in Palau.

What is the Palau Digital Residency?

The Palau Digital Residency Program is an option for global citizens to have a legal government-issued ID from the comfort of their home, with both a physical ID card and a digitalized ID for connected services. The RNS (Root Name System) is the official technology provider for the Palau Digital Residency Program, and the world's first digital Web3 identity platform developed to support the application and issuance of sovereignty-backed IDs.

RNS ID NFT is a digitalized legal ID that enables individuals to self-control their identification settings by enabling them to choose various levels of identification disclosure.

What can I do with the Palau Digital Residency Program?

We have reported use cases from our members that they're able to use the Palau ID for identity verification (Payment Processor, Peer-to-Peer Marketplace, Trading Platform, CVS, Pharmacy, DMV, Airbnb, T mobile, bars, hospital, railways, flight, and hotel check-in) and KYC purposes (most of the crypto exchanges, banks/neobanks, and non-bank payment provider).
