🇨🇦 Canada devs: Add Social Insurance Number (SIN) to the AI identity standard — Soulprint open source (30 min PR)

#opensource #ai #identity #webdev

Every day, AI agents make decisions on our behalf — buying, sending emails, signing documents — and nobody verifies there's a real human behind them.

Soulprint solves this with Zero-Knowledge Proofs: 100% on-device, open source (MIT), free to run. soulprint.digital

🇨🇦 Canada's Social Insurance Number (SIN) is not in Soulprint yet. You can add it in ~30 minutes with one PR.

What Soulprint does

npx soulprint verify-me       # scan ID + face match — all local
# → SPT token (score 0-100)

# AI agent includes token in every call
# X-Soulprint: eyJ... (score: 84)

# API verifies in 3 lines:
import { requireSoulprint } from "soulprint-mcp";
server.tool("premium", requireSoulprint({ minScore: 80 }), handler);

🇨🇦 Canada: Social Insurance Number (SIN)

SIN: 9 digits with Luhn algorithm validation (e.g. 046 454 286). Provincial health card numbers also available.

The code — fill in the blanks and open a PR

// packages/verify-local/src/document/countries/CA.ts
import { CountryVerifier, DocumentResult, NumberValidation } from "../verifier.interface";

const CA: CountryVerifier = {
  countryCode:   "CA",
  countryName:   "Canada",
  documentTypes: ["sin"],

  parse(ocrText: string): DocumentResult {
    // Social Insurance Number (SIN) format: SIN 9 digits, Luhn-validated
    const doc_number = ocrText.match(/(\d{9})/)?.[1] ?? "";
    return { valid: !!doc_number, doc_number, country: "CA" };
  },

  validate(docNumber: string): NumberValidation {
    // Luhn mod-10 algorithm
    return { valid: luhnCheck(docNumber) };
  },
};

export default CA;

Then add one line in registry.ts:

import CA from "./countries/CA";
// add to registry map: "CA": CA,
