China approves rules for national ‘online number’ ID scheme

stapp · May 26, 2025

China last week approved rules that will see Beijing issue identity numbers that netizens can use as part of a federated identity scheme that will mean they can use one logon across multiple online services.
China’s government will issue the credential, sometimes referred to as “Cyberspace IDs” or “online numbers”, after citizens provide verifiable identity documents. A “National Network Identity Authentication Public Service Platform” will run the enrolment process and the federated authentication tools that make them usable by third-party services.
