🇳🇵 Nepal devs: Add National Identity Card 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

🇳🇵 Nepal's National Identity Card 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);

🇳🇵 Nepal: National Identity Card

National ID (under rollout): 13 alphanumeric chars. Citizenship certificate: district code + issue year + sequence (variable).

The code — fill in the blanks and open a PR

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

const NP: CountryVerifier = {
  countryCode:   "NP",
  countryName:   "Nepal",
  documentTypes: ["national_id", "citizenship"],

  parse(ocrText: string): DocumentResult {
    // National Identity Card format: NID 13 chars or citizenship variable
    const doc_number = ocrText.match(/([A-Z0-9]{13})/)?.[1] ?? "";
    return { valid: !!doc_number, doc_number, country: "NP" };
  },

  validate(docNumber: string): NumberValidation {
    // 13 alphanumeric
    return { valid: /^[A-Z0-9]{13}$/.test(docNumber) };
  },
};

export default NP;

Then add one line in registry.ts:

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