Who stands behind it
| Role | Who | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| Convenor and secretariat | DINZ | Digital Identity New Zealand, a membership-funded not-for-profit in the NZTech alliance. Owns and governs the campaign, contracts partners and convenes the working groups. |
| Working group | TCA Group | Trusted Credentials Adoption Group, formed September 2025 and industry co-chaired. Aligns issuers, wallets and verifiers on interoperable credentials. |
| Accredited infrastructure | The Trust Network | Separate not-for-profit operating the rails: issuance, verification and wallet interoperability. Holds its own accreditation. |
| Statutory trust framework | DISTF | Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Act 2023. Accreditation has been open since November 2024 and is voluntary. Campaign participation confers none. |
| Regulator and accreditor | TFA and GDDA | The Trust Framework Authority, within the Government Digital Delivery Agency, administers accreditation. The GDDA co-owns the campaign. |
No government endorsement is stated or implied. Accreditation is voluntary and verifiable on the public register; providers that have not sought it are not less trustworthy for that. Partners are listed on the same terms as every other provider of their kind, and DINZ and the GDDA retain editorial control.
Helping trusted credentials become useful for everyone.
By bringing organisations together, we’re building shared understanding and practical adoption of trusted digital credentials across Aotearoa, for a more secure, inclusive and connected future.
