# 2019 Geoidentity – Logging the Border |
Displaced persons are often forced to leave their homes suddenly and do not have access to important personal documents, making it difficult for them to establish themselves in a host country. Geoidentity: Logging the Border proposes a new type of electronic passport, in which a person’s academic qualifications are logged and validated through a blockchain platform. Qualifications are uploaded by the awarding institution and available to verify anywhere in the world, allowing displaced persons to assert their credentials and ensure that they are properly valued in their host country.
