DIRECT : ARRIVEE DU PRÉSIDENT FELIX TSHISEKEDI AU LANCENCEMENT OFFICIELLE DE LA RDC PASS

We are here at the Cultural Center where the RDC Pass, a digital identifier allowing access to all official portals in the Democratic Republic of Congo, will be launched in a few moments. This is a stated desire of the President of the Republic, as well as the government, to facilitate access to all this information on various sites and platforms. So, to bring you this ceremony live, Astrid Congo is with us. The room is already ready, awaiting the arrival of the President of the Republic. As tradition dictates, there will certainly be a family photo before the President enters the room. I believe this will be the case this afternoon. Nothing is... because you are listening to Radio Télévision Nationale Congolaise, which traditionally broadcasts all major events in the Democratic Republic of Congo live. Today is June 13th. It is the birthday of the President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi. Despite this, he is working for the Republic. He is therefore arriving here at the Cultural Center for the launch of this RDC Pass, which is an identifier that allows you, whether you are in Durba or Kaimba, to access various information on the official sites of the Democratic Republic of Congo. You need to have one on the civil service, on taxes, DJ Rade, GFRM, the Ministry of Labor. All this in one click with a single identifier. This is now possible. This identifier is free. You will have all the details in the various speeches, and specialists will explain how it works and how to access this portal of the Democratic Republic of Congo. How to create this identifier? Details will certainly be given during this launch ceremony. The vehicle transporting the President of the Republic is stopping in front of the red carpet, while the small welcoming committee is in place to receive him. As I said, for this ceremony, there will be a family photo before the President enters the room. You see, everyone who needs to be in this family photo is already lined up. The President will come down shortly. As I told you, the welcoming protocol, the Minister in charge of the Digital Economy, and a few other dignitaries are lined up to welcome the President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. So, what is the portal not? That is what we must tell you very clearly. The RDC Pass is not an identity card, you should remember that. It is also not an identity document like a passport, nor a voter card. It is simply this identifier, this digital key that allows you to access digital services very securely. When I speak of digital services, I mean the official digital services offered by the various entities of the Democratic Republic of Congo. As I said earlier, whether you are in Kinshasa, Goma, Kisangani, or Tela in Central Congo, you can easily access official information by identifying yourself or entering this portal with your identifier. There will be no more passwords. You will have just one. The President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, has just stepped out. He is greeting the Minister of the Digital Economy, the Minister of PTN, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications I believe, and all the other dignitaries lined up, like the Commander of the City of Kinshasa, the Mayor of the Commune of Kasa-Vubu. The President will now position himself for this family photo, as I told you. Then he will enter the room, and the protocol includes several speeches. In those speeches, you will surely find all the details I provided earlier. The dignitaries participating in the ceremony are now in place for the family photo. In the room, you will have the necessary information to know how to create this identifier and what useful information will be available to you each time you access this great portal that groups together all the official platforms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Astrid Congo.

Here we are at the Cultural Center, the Central African Cultural Center here in Kinshasa, where very soon the official launch of the RDC Pass will take place. The President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, has already arrived at this Central African Cultural Center. The President of the Republic will officially kick off this ceremony. You can see in this meeting room various leaders, ministers, and the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo are all ready to await the start of this ceremony. This ceremony is being conducted by the Ministry of Digital Economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo, led by Mr. Augustin Kibasa Maliba. You should know that this ceremony stems from modern identification methods. Many citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo, especially those abroad, have great difficulty obtaining and knowing their identity. Even if a person's passport has expired, they have no way to get one while abroad. Thanks to this new initiative, a Congolese citizen abroad will be able to overcome this. This is a development that will allow Congo to enter the international community because, with a Congolese identity, you can connect globally. By accessing the RDC Pass, this digital identifier, you can enter into everything related to the various services of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is the initiative being launched today. It is a new technology that will allow every Congolese to be identified digitally. Many Congolese, as I said, have great difficulty when abroad in accessing computers, finding certain addresses, or getting certain jobs. This was a big problem. Today's digital initiative will significantly reduce the difficulties of Congolese people, even those abroad. It will reduce the neglect of Congolese abroad and will also strengthen how Congolese can use this digital means to get various jobs. This digital identification will also help combat identity theft for various jobs. It is a very good thing, even in healthcare. Congolese abroad can receive medical treatment by using this digital code, the RDC Pass. You will be identified as Congolese, and even in banking, they can identify you just through this system being launched today. You should know that this is a very good initiative that will also address various issues for Congolese. This is also thanks to the relationships with various technical and support partners who helped the Democratic Republic of Congo reach this modern stage. Various organizations supported this project, relying on modern technology. This support also came from various organizations that helped the DRC enter this new digital era. This will greatly help the Democratic Republic of Congo. This was the wish of President Felix Antoine Tshisekedi, who wanted the Congolese nation to become a modern nation, the Digital Nation by 2030. This means that by that year, the Democratic Republic of Congo will have fully entered this digital realm and will be supported by various developments because there are many things that will allow for progress. Even if someone travels, they must know that by entering this modern digital system, they can be identified. When they type in the RDC Pass and enter my name, they will know that I am truly Congolese and from the Congo, even if I don't have a physical ID. It is an excellent system that will also protect people who use it. It will also help to monitor the security of the country's various institutions at all times. You will understand what this means and what Congolese citizens will benefit from in this modern computer system. There is no cost at all. It is just a way to identify oneself and ensure that Congolese people, the various jobs of the Congo, are fully protected and that there will no longer be theft because this system will stop the theft of various jobs. Even in state institutions and workplaces, it will stop theft. It will help build a modern, digital Democratic Republic of Congo and protect the various letters of our country. We see that the President of the Republic has already arrived at the Central African Cultural Center here in Kinshasa. He has already taken photos with all those who were waiting to receive him. We think that by now he is in his working office here at the Cultural Center. Very soon he will enter the room where the meeting will take place to officially launch this system, the RDC Pass, which will allow the identification of Congolese even abroad. Mr. ED, when you are abroad and don't have a physical ID, they just type in the RDC Pass and they see you, with your photo, and they recognize that you are a Congolese citizen.

I was telling you about this official launch of the RDC Pass, which is a digital identifier that allows you to access the great portal of the Democratic Republic of Congo with all the necessary information on what you want to obtain, according to your domain and specificity. I remind you that this is a huge time gain for business people. You can be anywhere in the Democratic Republic of Congo, or anywhere in the world, and you can access the necessary information about the DRC in terms of administrative documents to obtain, procedures in one field or another. It facilitates the task for any information seeker, wherever they are and in whatever field. This portal is an important step towards the digitization and dematerialization of the administration. You have this identifier; you do not need to travel to these administrations, which means there will be fewer and fewer crowds in administrative offices looking for a document, because they can get it from home. You can get the necessary information from home and possibly make payments from your office or wherever you are. You have this portal, which is of capital importance in development, dematerialization, and also in the availability of necessary information on one topic or another. Imagine you want to start a business and the information on the one-stop shops for business creation can be served to you on your computer or your phone. You can use these identifiers, according to the information we have received, from your phone with a digital touch or a digital fingerprint as an identifier. You can have this information from your phone number. These are details that will be given to us shortly when the presentation of this RDC Pass is made in a few moments. And the Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises, who is responsible for it, I believe this is an enormous opportunity for DRC entrepreneurs. Young entrepreneurs, as soon as they have an identifier, can collect all the necessary information on the progress of their business, what opportunities the state offers them, state-owned companies, parastatals, and others. And the President of the Republic gives it the dynamic and expects results on the ground, as is the case now for inaugurations or launches. The ministers have the responsibility, according to the government's objectives and program, to concretize and materialize this government program, which stems from the vision of the President of the Republic as expressed in his state address.

Please take your seats. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We thank you. Thank you. We thank you. Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State. Thank you, please. Thank you. Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State, please accept the expression of our most respectful homage. Honorable President of the Senate, Madam Prime Minister, Head of Government, Mr. Presidents of institutions supporting democracy, Honorable National Deputies and Senators, Ladies and Gentlemen Members of the Government, Your Excellencies Ladies and Gentlemen Ambassadors, Heads of Diplomatic Missions and Representatives of International Organizations, Ladies and Gentlemen, in your respective titles and capacities, Distinguished Guests. The protocol welcomes you to this ceremony dedicated to the official launch of the RDC Pass, the unique digital identifier of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The event that brings us together today is part of the dynamic of the major reforms undertaken under the high impetus of His Excellency the President of the Republic for the modernization of the State and the acceleration of the digital transformation of our country. The program of this ceremony plans successively: the welcome address by the Managing Director of the company Trientity; then the address by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Trientity; the speech by the Minister of the Digital Economy, which will be followed by the screening of a video demonstrating how to obtain the RDC Pass. After that, the protocol will have the signal honor of very respectfully inviting His Excellency the President of the Republic, Head of State, to deliver his speech. A visit to the stands for obtaining the RDC Pass is planned at the end. With your permission, Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, the protocol invites the Managing Director of Trientity for his welcome address.

Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, with the expression of our most respectful homage. Mr. President of the Senate, Madam Prime Minister, Mr. President of the Constitutional Court and President of the High Council of the Judiciary, Honorable Deputies and Senators, Ladies and Gentlemen Members of the Government, Ladies and Gentlemen Representatives of International Organizations and Technical and Financial Partners. Mr. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Trientity, Mr. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Trientity Group, Singapore. Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, all protocol observed. Allow me, before anything else, Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Ladies and Gentlemen, to extend, on behalf of the company I direct, Trientity RDCTech, a word of welcome and my warmest greetings to all the eminent personalities who honor this ceremony with their presence. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a immense honor for Trientity RDC and for me personally to speak today under the high patronage of His Excellency the President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. Allow me to pay him a deferential tribute and thank him for his enlightened vision, Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, that of making digital technology a true lever for integration, good governance, good practices in both public and private sector governance, social progress, and societal inclusion. On behalf of my entire team, I also express our profound gratitude to the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and particularly to Mr. the Minister of the Digital Economy, for the trust they have shown us by associating us with projects of such national scope. Right from the start, Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to say with humility that this project is first and foremost that of the Democratic Republic of Congo. By my nationality, being Congolese, it is a pleasure to certify and specify this. The vision is Congolese, the sovereignty is indeed Congolese. Leadership obviously falls to the Congolese State. Our place as a private partner is to serve it with rigor, discretion, demanding standards, and especially determination. Trientity RDC is a company member of the Trientity International Group, a Singaporean company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, which has supported some of the largest digital identity and digital public infrastructure programs in the world, across Southeast Asia and Africa, where we are now present in these major countries at the heart of Africa. Our solutions are based on proven technology and meet the most recognized international certifications in information security and transaction protection. From this experience, we have retained a simple conviction: a national digital infrastructure is only as valuable as the trust it inspires and the robustness that supports it. It is this trust and robustness that we have placed at the service of this beautiful initiative, the RDC Pass, an initiative under the high patronage of His Excellency the President of the Republic. Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests, without going into deep technical details, allow me to share its guiding principle. The RDC Pass we are launching today is based on a secure end-to-end architecture designed to last over time and to scale up to the level of a nation awakening in engineering. It has the capacity to enable dialogue between administrations, citizens, the public sector, and the private sector in a fluid and, above all, secure manner, given that it is based on blockchain solutions and Web 3. cybersecurity standards, cyber defense among the most demanding in the world, such as banking-level encryption, strong authentication, and defense in depth, as our laws require. I cite, among others, the Digital Code. The technology we are implementing is designed so that the data of Congolese people, I repeat, the data of Congolese people, remains the property of the Congolese State. Hosted on national soil, placed under national control, accessed by nationals, the Managing Director that I am being Congolese by birth. Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State, Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests, the RDC Pass is today a technological reality, proven and ready to go into battle. But what we are celebrating goes beyond a technological platform, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is the culmination of a collaboration of trust at the service of the digital ambition of the Congolese people. Be assured, Ladies and Gentlemen, our commitment remains total and long-term. However advanced a technology may be, it is only as valuable as the manner in which it is deployed. Our approach is that of a progressive and, above all, controlled deployment, step by step, service by service, validating each stage with lucidity before moving to the next, to guarantee at all times stability, security, quality, and the experience offered to users, who are first and foremost Congolese citizens. Today, the challenge is not only technical, it is also human. Adopting a new technology requires a lot of support and lucidity, because man fears change. It means evolving habits that are sometimes deeply rooted in our ecosystem. This is why Trientity pays particular attention to change management, supporting administrations, training users, and raising awareness alongside the Congolese government for this local campaign, educating and setting up a pedagogy so that our fellow citizens appropriate this technological tool for the nation. It puts the Congo at the heart of Africa as a model. As was the case with mobile telephony, the DRC was a champion, and we, the sons and daughters of this country, Mr. President of the Republic, looking you straight in the eye, we are ready to go into this battle to materialize the vision that is yours, under your impulse. Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to conclude my speech with a simple promise, but one that is well measured. We did not come to the Democratic Republic of Congo for a passage, still less for a tourist visit. But we came to the Democratic Republic of Congo to stand beside you, Mr. President of the Republic, Madam Prime Minister, Members of the Government, to stay and build together this great Congo at the heart of Africa. We came to build together alongside each and every one of you, Congolese women and men, for a duration, and to see our country project itself onto this technological trajectory in the wake of the great nations of the world. In this matter of technology, we can cite Singapore, where our parent company is located. This is why I will end with this word in Lingala, because for me the word is no longer enough; it is time for action. In Lingala I would say, "Tosala elongo." Let's build together. On behalf of our entire team, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Trientity RDC, on behalf of His Excellency the President of the Republic, Head of State, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. Thank you.

Kongozi RDC Pass. Mr. the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Trientity, please take the floor.

With the expression of my most respectful homage. Honorable President of the Senate, Madam Prime Minister, Head of Government, Mr. President of the Constitutional Court and President of the High Council of the Judiciary, Honorable Senators and Deputies, Ladies and Gentlemen Members of the Government, Ladies and Gentlemen Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Gentlemen Representatives and Partners of our company Trientity from Singapore. Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests in your titles and capacities. Today marks a historic step in the modernization of our state, in the digital transformation of the DRC. We officially launch the RDC Pass, the unique national digital identifier. Before anything else, allow me on this particular occasion to respectfully address to His Excellency the President of the Republic, on my behalf and that of my family, the company Trientity, all my partners and collaborators, our most sincere wishes for health and prosperity on the occasion of his birthday. May this new year be one of peace, success, and great achievements for our country. This project is above all the expression of a strong political will carried at the highest level of the State. The President of the Republic has chosen to fully enter the era of digital sovereignty. No nation can claim development, economic security, administrative efficiency, and modern power without mastering its digital identity and strategic infrastructures. The RDC Pass translates this presidential vision, that of a modern, organized, secure, inclusive, and technically sovereign Congo. This ambition aims to place the Congolese citizen at the center of the State's transformation, by fostering transparency and preparing our country for the economic and technological challenges of the 21st century. Through this initiative, the DRC affirms its commitment to building a strong nation where every citizen counts, where every identity is recognized and protected, and where digital technology becomes a tool for dignity, trust, and collective progress. This project is not simply a technological innovation. It is an instrument of national sovereignty, social inclusion, economic modernization, and political trust. For a long time, millions of Congolese have lived without a reliable administrative identity, without simplified access to public services, without the possibility of full integration into the formal and digital economy. With the RDC Pass, we are changing this reality. Every citizen will now be able to have a secure, verifiable digital identity recognized at the national level. This identity will enable simplified access to public services, financial services, telecommunications, the health system, education, social protection, and numerous digital platforms. The RDC Pass constitutes the foundation of a new architecture for the modern state. It will enable new governance, a reduction in fraud and administrative duplication, securing of transactions, better mobilization of public revenue, improved services to citizens, and a stronger integration of our country into the global digital economy. Our vision is clear: make the DRC a sovereign, interoperable, and inclusive digital nation. The world is evolving rapidly. Today, the great powers build their competitiveness on the mastery of data, digital infrastructure, and identity systems. Africa itself now affirms the necessity of controlling its strategic data and digital infrastructure. The DRC cannot remain a spectator. Our country must become an actor in its own transformation. The RDC Pass fully aligns with the vision of the National Digital Plan and the desire to build a strong Congolese digital sovereignty. We have studied the most advanced international digital experiences: FranceConnect in France, DigiD in the Netherlands, Singpass in Singapore, itsme in Belgium, X-Road in Estonia. But our fight is not to copy a foreign model. Our ambition is to build a Congolese model adapted to the reality of our territory, our institutions, and our population. The RDC Pass will be based on a secure and federated architecture. Institutions will retain their prerogatives and their data, while...

We now invite the Minister of the Digital Economy to speak.

Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State, with my most deferential respects, Mr. honorable President of the Senate, Madam Prime Minister, Head of Government, Mr. President of the Court of Accounts, honorable deputies and senators, ladies and gentlemen members of the government, ladies and gentlemen members of the diplomatic corps, ladies and gentlemen representatives of international organizations, technical and financial partners, Mr. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tridentity Digital Tech SAS, ladies and gentlemen heads of state institutions and public services, Mr. Director General of Tridentity Tech SAS, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is with a real sense of pride that I speak today, the day our country launches not just a tool but lays a foundational act. With the RDC Pass, we today offer every Congolese woman, man, and resident of our country a single, simple, free, and secure gateway to state public services. Allow me first to pay a vibrant tribute to His Excellency the President of the Republic, Head of State, Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. What we celebrate today is not the fruit of chance or fiction; it is the culmination of a clear vision, carried at the highest level of the state and tirelessly reaffirmed. It is your vision that we are materializing today. This vision, Mr. President, you formulated without ambiguity: 'To make the Democratic Republic of Congo a prosperous digital nation and a technological hub at the heart of Africa by 2030.' Under your impetus, digital technology has ceased to be an abstract promise and has become a national priority, a lever for integration and sovereignty, good governance, economic growth, social progress, and inclusion. The efforts made under your leadership are considerable: a modernized legal framework with the ordinance-law on the digital code, digital institutions, the National Electronic Certification Authority, the National Cybersecurity Agency, the DRC's digital portal currently being implemented, deployed infrastructures, and an active digital diplomacy that carries our country's voice on the continental and international stage. The high patronage placed under your authority once again testifies to your personal commitment. Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State, on behalf of all sectors, I express our profound gratitude. Thank you. The RDC Pass is the concrete translation of your commitment. It gives body, for the citizen, resident, and enterprise, to an ambition many thought distant: that of a Congolese state accessible with a single gesture, everywhere and for everyone. Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, a vision, however strong, is only realized through determined government action. I wish to salute in this regard the leadership of Madam the Prime Minister. The dematerialization of public services is not a slogan; it is a patient undertaking, made of texts, infrastructure, and courageous choices, conducted in coherence with major national guidelines. Today's launch is one of the most visible and tangible imprints for the population. Because digital technology is not an end in itself. Its value lies not in the technology itself, but in the services it allows to deliver to citizens. That is precisely the purpose of the RDC Pass: to put the power of digital technology at the service of the daily lives of Congolese people. Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, allow me to specify that the RDC Pass, as your unique digital identifier, is the personal and secure key to accessing the state's digital public service. What we launch today is not an achievement. The RDC Pass is the first step in the digitalization of our public services. A first step towards the DRC Digital Nation 2030. The foundation is laid; we will build the edifice together, service by service, in a coordinated and coherent digitalization process. The RDC Pass is free, personal, secure, and accessible everywhere. Obtaining your unique digital identifier requires no payment. It is a service the state offers its citizens. It guarantees respect for the competencies of each institution of the Republic and the legal solidity of our approach. But what will this key be used for concretely? Its value will grow as the state's digital services connect to one another. Tomorrow, your procedures and documents will communicate with each other. Here are a few simple examples: when your passport nears its expiry date, you will receive a reminder to renew it on time; when a tax is due, a notification will tell you; when an administrative document is ready, you will be informed without having to travel. A state that anticipates and comes to you instead of making you wait. This interconnection will not happen all at once. It will come to life thanks to the digital portal of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is the engine. It is this service that will progressively link the systems of administrations and, through the RDC Pass, accelerate the digitalization of our public services. Service by service, the digital portal will make the RDC Pass a key that opens more and more doors. Today, we cross the first. Tomorrow, thanks to the digital portal, they will open one after another. Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, concretely, for each user, the RDC Pass means fewer trips and less waiting in line for procedures you can complete from home. A simplified and secure access to the state's digital public service with a single account at any time, better protection of users' personal data, increased interoperability between the different state services, and ultimately, strengthened trust in digital transactions. The RDC Pass does not appear out of nowhere. It is based on a clear normative framework, foremost among which is the digital code, and is part of the trajectory of the DRC Digital Nation Horizon 2030, as well as major government orientations and regulatory texts of the digital sector. It is a public policy designed for the long term and coherence. In this ecosystem, the role of the Ministry of the Digital Economy is precise. It is the structural guarantor of the robustness, sovereignty, and security of the national digital infrastructure. Ladies and gentlemen, the DRC is not embarking on this path alone. It joins a proven global movement and adapts it to its own realities. In Singapore, the national system Singpass has become the reference digital access key. According to public data from the government agency GovTech, it now brings together 97% of adult citizens and residents and provides access to over 2,700 services from over 800 administrations and businesses, for some 41 million transactions each month. In France, the FranceConnect system, operated by the Inter-ministerial Digital Directorate, illustrates the same philosophy: a unique and secure identifier which, according to 2025 data, is used by 45 million people to access over 1,500 online services, totaling nearly 500 million connections in the single year 2025. A remarkable feat that should inspire us. This system neither centralizes nor stores personal data. It merely transmits a proof of verified access. It is fully operated on national territory and has been recognized as compliant with sovereignty and data protection requirements. More broadly, countries like Estonia have built a fully digital administration on an interoperability layer linking public services together. And the African continent is converging on Digital Public Infrastructure as a development foundation. Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, a digital identifier is only valuable if it is trustworthy. That is why the protection of personal data, the security of the system, and the sovereignty of our infrastructure are not options for us; they are foundational requirements. The citizen must be certain that their digital key serves them, protects them, and remains under national control. Such is the promise the ministry commits to keeping. Allow me to express my gratitude to all my colleagues in the government, particularly those in the Interior, Finance, and Telecommunications, for their participation and involvement in the success of this project. My thanks also go to all our institutional, technical, and financial partners, whose commitment made this project possible. I also salute the professionalism and technical skill of all the personnel of the Digital Tech SA company. Ladies and gentlemen, the RDC Pass is now in your hands. Together, let us accompany this first step towards a DRC Digital Nation 2030. Long live the Democratic Republic of Congo and its sovereign digital technology. Long live the RDC Pass. Thank you.

Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, allow me to seize this moment and it is with great emotion that I realize that even on your birthday, the day of your birth, you always put the Republic before yourself. And that is why I ask you to accept that for one minute we may wish you a happy birthday. Happy birthday, Mr. President.

Please be seated. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, I now invite you to follow the projection of a video demonstrating the process for obtaining the RDC Pass. Unique, reliable, secure, and free, it gives you access to various private and state digital public services. How do you get your RDC Pass? It's simple. Go to an accredited agent with a valid ID: a legible and current voter card, a valid passport, a driver's license, or other administrative documents. With the help of an accredited agent, validate and confirm the sovereign pact of the RDC Pass. Confirm by having the agent scan your ID. Enter your mobile phone number. Choose your verification method: SMS, WhatsApp, email, or voice call. Enter the received verification code, then validate. For your security, choose your security method, either by fingerprint or facial recognition, then proceed accordingly. Next, the system performs the final checks and will give you the credibility score of your process. With the help of the accredited agent, validate the final instructions and obtain your RDC Pass, your unique digital identifier. All this in under 5 minutes. We now have the distinct honor of very respectfully inviting His Excellency the President of the Republic, Head of State, to deliver his speech.
