Our society works better when we adhere to DRY (don't repeat yourself) principles. Did you ever wonder why you have to repeat yourself. Our Web Api is a white list of registered citizens of the Barbados Electorate. Every Barbados citizen had a unique key, National Registration Number, which identifies who you are. Our team works diligently to maintain this list and we want to share it with your systems.

Why Single Source of Truth?
A usage scenario for Barbados
We duplicate and triplicate data and processes often. This is not only time consuming for the customer but also for the service provider. Our usage scenario posits that a web service such as BarbadosSSOT be used by the Government of Barbados (data owner) to capture, store and manage all Personal Identifiable Information (PII) for every citizen (data subject) from inception (birth registration of a citizen) to termination (death of a citizen).
Barbados can benefit from having a SSOT data repository that is consumable by private individual or private commercial entities to accurately verify the identity of all Barbadian citizens. Incidentally this is the cornerstone of a digital transformation in Barbados.
How Would It Work?
A Step-by-Step Implementation
-
Citizen Registration at Birth
- When a child is born, BarbadosSSOT captures their information (name, date of birth, parents' details, nationality, etc.).
- A unique digital identity is generated, linking the birth certificate to this record.
- The data is stored securely in the SSOT repository and made available to authorized entities.
-
Integration with Key Government Services
- Healthcare Services (e.g., vaccinations, medical records)
- Education System (e.g., school enrollment, academic records)
- Tax & Social Services (e.g., National Insurance, welfare benefits)
- Passport and National ID Issuance (linked to the SSOT)
-
Secure Identity Verification for Public and Private Sectors
- When a citizen applies for loans, insurance, employment, or legal services, private companies and government agencies can securely verify their identity via BarbadosSSOT APIs.
- No need for repeated data collection, reducing fraud and processing times.
-
Real-Time Updates & Lifecycle Management
- The SSOT updates in real time when changes occur:
- Address updates (automatically reflected in all linked services)
- Marriage, Name Changes, or Other Legal Modifications
- Criminal Record, Driver’s License, and Social Security Information
- Death Registration (ensuring all linked systems are notified and records updated)
Benefits of BarbadosSSOT
- Efficiency: Eliminates redundant paperwork and reduces service processing times.
- Accuracy: Ensures consistent and reliable citizen data across all services.
- Security: Implements advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, and access controls.
- Cost Savings: Reduces administrative burden, saving taxpayer money.
- Digital Transformation: Enables seamless e-Government services and private sector innovation.
By implementing BarbadosSSOT, Barbados moves towards a smarter, more efficient, and digitally empowered future—where data integrity, security, and accessibility drive national progress.
