Your Rights with the Register

To see your record

Every resident is given a private link to their own entry. It shows your record, your credentials, the cards printed for you, and who has opened your record. If you have lost your link, ask through Tell the Register and the Registrar General will reissue it; the old link stops working.

To have it corrected

From your own record you can ask for anything wrong to be corrected. Your request gets its own code and is answered within 30 days: corrected, partly corrected, or declined with reasons. Nothing is overwritten without a note; every earlier version is kept.

To know who has checked you

Every time a business, an agency or an officer checks one of your credentials, the check is listed on your record. If the same card is checked from two places within an hour, you are told.

To fair process

1. A credential is suspended or revoked only after you receive written notice with reasons.
2. You have 14 days to answer, in writing, and to ask to be heard.
3. The decision is made by an officer who did not propose it, with written reasons.
4. You may appeal within 30 days to the Attorney General.

Loss, theft and death close a credential at once, without notice, to protect you.

What is never published

The Register publishes only the Gazette, the standing of a code when someone checks it, the Manor Roll of published Claims of Right, and the Nation's public keys. It never publishes your address, your health, your adoption, the particulars of a minor, or anything classed as restricted, internal, sensitive or sealed. It holds no fingerprints or other biometric templates and no outside government numbers.

To share only what you choose

On your phone, your card shows a code that changes every minute, so a photo of it is useless to anyone else. You can also show a single fact — that you are a resident, or over 18 — without your name or code.

If something is wrong

Write to the Secretariat or use Report to the Nation. Every complaint gets a code and an answer.
