Issuance Policy

ECZ-ID issuance policies define how identifiers and passports are formally created, recorded, and made resolvable. Issuance is a resolver-first operation and does not occur on this website.

Authority node: a resolver-recognized entity with permission to issue ECZ-IDs or passports within a defined scope.

ECZ-ID Issuance

• Each ECZ-ID is issued by a registered authority node under resolver-governed constraints.
• Issued identifiers are unique, time-bound, and ledger-referenced.
• No ECZ-ID is considered valid unless it resolves with authoritative status at time of reference.

Passport Issuance

• Passports declare time-specific state (Declared / Verified / Assured) and may include structured credentials.
• Passports are not certificates; they are machine-verifiable declarations governed by policy and ledger rules.
• Issuance may be delegated but must be cryptographically anchored to the resolver authority model.
• Issuance events are recorded canonically. Any ECZ-ID or passport that does not resolve via the canonical resolver is considered non-authoritative.

Issuance behavior is fully resolver-enforced. No identifiers are created, modified, or referenced outside the canonical resolver.
