UNTP Identifier Scheme Register

This page provides a summary of identifier scheme operators that have committed to publish their scheme as a UNTP-discoverable register and (optionally) issue Digital Identity Anchor credentials to their registered entities. As described in the UNTP Identity Resolver and Digital Identity Anchor specifications, this is a key activity for standards bodies, industry associations, and facility data services that want their identifiers to be resolvable and verifiable across UNTP credentials. The register complements GRID (https://un.opensource.unicc.org/unece/uncefact/gtr/) which catalogues authoritative government-run registers (national business registers, land, asset, trademark).
