Governments can act as issuers of foundational verifiable credentials by creating digital versions of official documents such as birth certificates, passports, and driver's licenses. These credentials would be cryptographically signed and stored on decentralized ledgers, ensuring authenticity and immutability. By adopting verifiable credentials, governments can enhance the security and portability of official documents, facilitating seamless verification by other entities and reducing the risk of identity fraud.
