Why do we need Sunbird RC?

Stand up trusted registries and verifiable credentials quickly — for any domain, at national scale.

Sunbird RC lets you quickly build registries of individuals, objects and entities for a wide variety of domains — including national-scale registries.

Build registries through configuration

Adopters build core electronic registries using configurable schemas and workflows. Sunbird RC then automatically creates all the APIs, workflows and a default user experience needed by key registry stakeholders.

Issue credentials people can carry and verify

Sunbird RC provides microservices to issue portable, standard schema-based credentials that are compliant with the W3C Verifiable Credentials data model, with built-in attestation and verification flows. These credentials:

• can be printed with QR codes

• can be translated into many languages

• are instantly verifiable

Along the way, Sunbird RC handles enrolment, authentication, data ownership, search, issuance and management of verifiable credentials, claim attestation between users and attesters, and sharing of credentials with user consent.

Built to scale and integrate

Quality	What it means
Scalable	Handles large volumes of digital identities and credentials with ease.
Always up to date	Supports both synchronous and asynchronous updates, so data stays current.
Interoperable	Built on open standards and protocols, so it integrates with other systems and applications without reinventing the wheel.

In short: Sunbird RC gives organizations a secure, scalable way to manage and verify digital identities and credentials — making access and permissions easier to manage, and giving individuals greater control over their own data.
