#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

🇳🇬 Nigeria's NIN (National Identification Number) 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);

🇳🇬 Nigeria: NIN (National Identification Number)

NIN: 11 digits. BVN (Bank Verification): 11 digits. Voter card: 19 alphanumeric chars.

The code — fill in the blanks and open a PR

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

const NG: CountryVerifier = {
  countryCode:   "NG",
  countryName:   "Nigeria",
  documentTypes: ["nin", "bvn"],

  parse(ocrText: string): DocumentResult {
    // NIN (National Identification Number) format: NIN 11 digits
    const doc_number = ocrText.match(/(\d{11})/)?.[1] ?? "";
    return { valid: !!doc_number, doc_number, country: "NG" };
  },

  validate(docNumber: string): NumberValidation {
    // exactly 11 digits
    return { valid: /^\d{11}$/.test(docNumber) };
  },
};

export default NG;

Then add one line in registry.ts:

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