Digital Identity — OECS ePass
Free for OECS citizensThe OECS ePass is a free, secure digital travel credential issued to citizens of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. Move quickly between the seven participating member states, replace the paper ED-Card at most ports of entry, and carry a sovereign-issued identity that every member-state border officer can verify in seconds.
Participating Member States
Each ePass is issued by the citizen’s home country and recognised across every other participating member state. The credential travels with the citizen; the data stays with the issuing nation.
Get Started
OECS citizens enrol directly through the official mobile app on either platform. The credential is bound to the device and to the citizen’s biometrics; no in-person appointment is required.
Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The official OECS ePass app is the only authorised enrolment channel.
Upload a passport, national ID, driver’s licence, or voter card issued by your home OECS member state. The app reads the document and pre-fills your registration.
The app performs liveness detection and biometric matching against your document photo. Once verified, your ePass is issued instantly to your device.
Regional Travel
Where the ePass is recognised, OECS citizens skip the paper Embarkation/Disembarkation card altogether. Arrival and departure happen entirely from the credential on their device, at every air and sea port that has been brought online.
Recognised at participating international airports across the seven member states. Officers verify the credential at the desk in seconds.
Cruise terminals, ferry ports, and yachting marinas accept the same credential, useful for the inter-island ferry routes that move thousands of OECS citizens weekly.
Where the ePass is accepted, the paper Embarkation/Disembarkation Card is no longer required. The credential carries the manifest data the officer needs.
Each member state issues, revokes, and governs its own ePasses. No central identity provider, no foreign cloud holds citizen data.
A border officer in one nation cryptographically verifies a credential issued by another, with no query to a central registry. The credential proves itself.
Every ePass is bound to the citizen’s face. A live match at the border ensures the credential cannot be transferred or used by a third party.
If a credential is suspended in the issuing state, it is instantly honoured as suspended in every other member state. No lag, no manual notification.
Where bilateral agreements are in place, the same ePass authenticates a citizen for tax, vehicle registration, and licensing services in member states beyond their own.
