๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ Pakistan devs: Add CNIC (Computerized National ID Card) to the AI identity standard โ€” Soulprint open source (30 min PR)

Every day, AI agents make decisions on our behalf โ€” buying, sending emails, signing documents โ€” 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

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ Pakistan's CNIC (Computerized National ID 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 โ€” all local
# โ†’ 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);

ZK proof: Circom 2.1.8 ยท Groth16 ยท 844 constraints ยท 564ms prove ยท 25ms verify.


๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ Pakistan: CNIC (Computerized National ID Card)

CNIC: 13 digits. Format: XXXXX-XXXXXXX-X (division+district+UC + sequence + gender). No check digit algorithm.


The code โ€” fill in the blanks and open a PR

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

const PK: CountryVerifier = {
  countryCode:   "PK",
  countryName:   "Pakistan",
  documentTypes: ["cnic"],

  parse(ocrText: string): DocumentResult {
    // CNIC (Computerized National ID Card) format: XXXXX-XXXXXXX-X (13 digits)
    const doc_number = ocrText.match(/(\d{5}-?\d{7}-?\d)/)?.[1] ?? "";
    return { valid: !!doc_number, doc_number, country: "PK" };
  },

  validate(docNumber: string): NumberValidation {
    // 13 digits, last digit 1 (male) or 2 (female)
    return { valid: /^\d{13}$/.test(docNumber.replace(/-/g,'')) };
  },
};

export default PK;

Then add one line in registry.ts:

import PK from "./countries/PK";
// add to registry map: "PK": PK,
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
