Government documents must meet standards that other credentials do not. Citizens depend on the authenticity of licenses, registrations, and certifications. Records must remain verifiable not just for years, but for decades.
Traditional digital documents — PDFs, database-backed certificates — have limitations that matter for public sector applications:
Blockchain technology addresses these concerns directly.
Blockchain records exist across thousands of independent computers worldwide. A credential issued today remains verifiable in 10, 20, or 50 years — regardless of what happens to any single system or organization.
Once written to the blockchain, a record cannot be altered. Not by external attackers. Not by internal staff. Not by the issuing agency itself. This immutability provides the foundation for public trust.
TRUE is eIDAS compliant (EU electronic identification standards) and GDPR-native (Swedish company, European data handling). The platform is designed for the regulatory environment government agencies operate within.
Citizens can verify credentials themselves, instantly, without contacting the issuing agency. This transparency reduces verification workload while building public confidence.
Automated issuance and self-service verification reduce the administrative burden on government staff. No printing costs. No physical storage. No manual verification phone calls.
Government agencies that register businesses, issue licenses, and grant permits need credentials that remain verifiable throughout the life of the business. The Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) piloted blockchain for exactly this purpose.
Medical licenses, legal certifications, engineering qualifications — credentials that practitioners carry throughout their careers. Blockchain verification ensures these remain valid and verifiable regardless of system changes.
Municipalities issue certifications for training programs, civic achievements, and community recognition. Södertälje Kommun used TRUE for blockchain-secured diplomas for their civic hackathon winners.
Birth certificates, marriage records, property deeds, educational transcripts — documents that citizens may need to verify decades after issuance. Blockchain provides the permanence these records require.
Government awards and honors deserve credentials that match their significance. Blockchain-secured certificates provide lasting verification for civic achievements.
Bolagsverket is the Swedish government agency responsible for business registrations. When they needed to explore blockchain for official documents, they chose TRUE.
This pilot demonstrates that TRUE meets the security, compliance, and operational standards required by government agencies. When a national government office validates a platform, that validation carries weight.
Södertälje municipality issued blockchain-secured diplomas for their civic hackathon program, demonstrating blockchain credentials in a municipal context.
> "Amazing. I tip my hat for your design TRUE! It was really fun to be able to give Blockchain-secured diplomas to the winners of HACK FOR SÖDERTÄLJE." > — Anthony Mccarrick, Digitization Strategist, Södertälje Kommun
Government agencies operate under strict security and compliance requirements. TRUE is built for this environment.
TRUE meets EU requirements for electronic identification and trust services. eIDAS compliance ensures that digital credentials issued through TRUE carry appropriate legal weight within the European regulatory framework.
TRUE is a Swedish company. GDPR isn't an afterthought or an add-on — it's foundational to how the platform handles data. Citizen information is processed according to European data protection standards.
TRUE is Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure, a Swedish cybersecurity firm. This certification validates security practices and data protection measures.
TRUE uses multiple established blockchain networks:
Multi-network implementation provides redundancy and ensures verification remains available regardless of conditions on any single network.
TRUE is headquartered in Stockholm. Data processing occurs within European jurisdiction. There are no foreign data sovereignty concerns that sometimes complicate government procurement of technology services.
Government credentials must remain verifiable for extended periods. A business registration may need verification decades after issuance. A professional license must remain verifiable throughout a career.
Traditional systems struggle with this requirement:
Blockchain solves the long-term verification problem:
This permanence is not a marketing claim — it's a fundamental property of blockchain technology.
Issue thousands of credentials efficiently through CSV upload or API integration. Government agencies dealing with large volumes — license renewals, training completions, registration confirmations — can process entire batches without manual intervention.
TRUE's REST API integrates with existing government systems. Connect to citizen databases, licensing systems, or training platforms. Automate credential issuance based on existing workflows.
For agencies without technical integration resources, TRUE supports email-based issuance. Send structured emails to trigger credential creation without development work.
Credentials display your agency's logo, crest, and visual identity. The look and feel match your organization's established brand.
Credentials live on your agency's domain — credentials.agency.gov.se — not on TRUE's website. Citizens see your brand throughout the verification experience.
Track when and where credentials are verified. Understand usage patterns. Generate compliance reports.
Every credential includes a QR code. Citizens, employers, or other agencies can verify instantly with any smartphone. No app required. No account needed.
Blockchain credentials reduce operational costs across multiple dimensions.
When citizens can verify credentials themselves through QR scan or verification portal, agency staff no longer need to handle verification requests. Self-service verification scales without adding headcount.
Digital credentials eliminate paper, printing supplies, and mailing expenses. For agencies issuing thousands of credentials annually, these savings compound.
Digital credentials don't require archival storage space, filing systems, or records management infrastructure for physical documents.
API integration and batch issuance replace manual credential creation. Staff time shifts from administrative work to higher-value activities.
Blockchain provides built-in audit trails. Every credential has a timestamp, transaction record, and verification history. Compliance reporting becomes simpler when the audit trail is inherent to the system.
| Stat | Value | |------|-------| | Documents issued | 500,000+ | | Organizations using TRUE | 200+ | | Blockchain networks | 4 (Ethereum, Polygon, AVAX, Fantom) | | eIDAS compliant | Yes | | GDPR-native | Yes (Swedish company) | | Cyber Hygiene Certified | Yes | | API endpoints | 5 |
Government procurement processes take time. TRUE supports agencies through evaluation, piloting, and full deployment.
Step 1: Discovery Assess your credential requirements, volumes, and compliance needs.
Step 2: Pilot Test with a specific credential type or department before broader rollout.
Step 3: Integration Connect to existing systems through API or configure batch workflows.
Step 4: Training Train staff on issuance workflows and administrative functions.
Step 5: Deployment Roll out to full credential set with ongoing support.
Other credential platforms focus on corporate training badges. TRUE is built for high-value credentials where security, compliance, and permanence matter.
Swedish company. European headquarters. European data handling. No foreign jurisdiction complications.
Government validation. Bolagsverket chose TRUE. That selection involved the security and compliance evaluation that government procurement requires.
Blockchain security. Not "secure storage" — actual blockchain implementation across four established networks.
Permanent verification. Records persist on distributed networks indefinitely. Long-term verification isn't a promise — it's how the technology works.
eIDAS and GDPR compliance. Built for European regulatory requirements from the foundation.
