Billions of people are subscribed to mobile services, while in the whole world rapid deployment of high-speed mobile networks and infrastructure continues. Many countries have undergone an identification process to match mobile subscribers to their SIM cards so that users and their behaviors are known through a KYC (Know Your Customer) process.

 

Regulation Agencies have defined new applicable regulations
to more clearly define the requirements around the identification
of mobile subscribers, including:

- The physical and electronic identification of all mobile phone subscribers;

- A digital archive of all information related to the subscriber, maintained in a reliable and secure database;

- The obligation of each subscriber to identify himself immediately upon subscription. This includes the requirement to provide a copy of an identity document, such as an identity card, passport, residency card and proof of residency;

- The activation of pre-paid mobile cards by operators only after operators have received all documents and requirements;

- An automatic suspension of subscribers whose accounts do not include names or identity card numbers.
