Provider Registration

Register as a Provider

Authorized Providers are organizations that operate under the Crown's framework to issue recognition documents, run verifiers, and serve entities directly. Providers operate under a formal standing granted by the Crown — publicly registered, independently verifiable.

What Is a Provider?

A Provider is an organization granted standing by the Crown to act on its behalf within a defined scope. Providers issue recognition documents to individuals and entities, verify credentials, and operate public-facing services under the international framework.

Every Provider's standing is publicly logged. Any document a Provider issues chains back to the Crown's root authority — verifiable by anyone, at any time, without asking us.

Who Can Apply?

Any organization with legal capacity and a genuine purpose aligned with the framework's principles may apply. There is no requirement to be registered in any particular nation-state — the framework operates across all jurisdictions.

Current Provider seed set includes FIDNT, ISET, and FidTech — the first organizations to operate under the framework in Phase 2. Third-party applications will be reviewed by the Council.

Authorized Scope

Issue Recognition Documents

Providers may issue ISP Certification documents in the classes authorized by their standing — identity, entity, relationship, compliance, and mutual recognition.

Operate Verification Services

Run public or private verification endpoints that check documents against the framework's root authority. All verifiers must implement the nine-step verification protocol.

Mirror the Public Registry

Providers may maintain a full or partial mirror of the public registry — increasing the network's resilience and ensuring continued access even when primary nodes are unreachable.

Serve Entities Directly

Accept and process applications from individuals and organizations seeking recognition. Maintain confidential entity records under the framework's privacy and honesty obligations.

Requirements

Requirement	Description
Legal Capacity	The organization must have legal capacity to enter agreements — by any recognized framework, not necessarily any specific nation-state's law.
Honesty Obligations	All Providers must accept and adhere to the Sovereign Protocol's Honesty Obligations (§4.11) — no deceptive practices, no coercion, no surveillance of entities.
Technical Capability	Must be able to operate the verification protocol, maintain signed records, and participate in the public registry log.
Purpose Alignment	Purpose must align with the framework's principles: world peace, unity, and shared prosperity. Providers operating for nation-state coercion will not be chartered.
Council Review	All applications are reviewed by the Council. Third-party applications require a public comment period of 30 days before issuance.

Apply for Provider Standing

Direct application intake opens in Phase 2. If you are a founding Provider (FIDNT, ISET, or FidTech), your standing is being processed as part of the Phase 2 ceremony.

Provider standing is granted by the Crown, not purchased. There is no registration fee. The Sovereign Protocol License governs the terms.
