Memdeklaro is an open-source, philosophical project that allows individuals to self-declare their identity and generate printable, self-sovereign identification cards without relying on centralized authorities, such as governments.
Because it relies on self-printed paper or plastic cards rather than state-issued documents, it is typically used for informal identification, philosophical expression, or privacy advocacy.
The standard Memdeklaro card contains the following details:
- Self-chosen first and last name
- Date of birth
- A photograph
- A signature
It intentionally excludes details like birthplace, citizenship/stateless status, or parents' names to help protect privacy.
The concept is designed as a decentralized alternative to standard government papers, emphasizing individual freedom, open-source principles, and protection from institutional surveillance.
