Residents of the Southeast Asian country will be able to use it for digital identity verification based on their identity card when accessing e-government services through a single login supported by biometric authentication.<\/p>\n<p>Biometric authentication is carried out locally on the user\u2019s device, while personal data is protected in accordance with local regulation, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) and the Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications (MTIC) explain in an announcement.<\/p>\n<p>While some government services are already online, others will be added in the future. Currently, Bruneians can access the Public Service Commission Recruitment (PSC), the Business Reporting portal, TransportBN, BruHealth, E-Undi, and the Talian Darussalam 123 (TD123) mobile application.<\/p>\n<p>According to previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biometricupdate.com\/202511\/brunei-soft-launches-digital-identity-system-with-bruneiid-app\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announcements<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brunei-id.gov.bn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BruneiID<\/a> will eventually replace the country\u2019s existing e-Darussalam authentication platform.
