App Profile: UNJSPF Digital CE

The current paper-based process for the UNJSPF Certificate of Entitlement to prove a retiree’s/beneficiary’s eligibility for continued pension caters to over 70 thousand retirees and beneficiaries located in more than 190 countries. As it uses postal services, the process is very slow and cumbersome.

The App uses facial biometric technology, liveness check and geo-location to submit a Digital Certificate of Entitlement to a secure blockchain. Use of location makes it possible for retirees and beneficiaries paid under the two-track to also use the app.

All user data is stored securely either in the App or in data centres protected by UN Privileges and Immunity. No cloud-based services are used for processing of user information.

The paper-based CE will continue to be an option for the retires/beneficiaries who cannot/ do not want to use the app.
