Understanding MOSIP: What the Modular Open-Source Identity Platform is and how it is used

MOSIP has become one of the world’s most influential digital public goods, providing an open-source foundation for countries building secure, sovereign and interoperable digital identity systems. As adoption expands, the platform is evolving beyond software into a global ecosystem of governments, implementation partners, technology providers and standards that is reshaping how national digital identity infrastructure is deployed.

This 47-page Biometric Update report examines MOSIP’s architecture, governance model, ecosystem and real-world deployments, explaining why it has become a cornerstone of modern digital public infrastructure (DPI). It explores how countries are using MOSIP to strengthen digital sovereignty, accelerate implementation, reduce vendor lock-in and build trusted identity systems that can support broader digital government and digital economy initiatives.
