The Groningen Declaration Network

The Groningen Declaration Network (GDN) is a global collaboration that promotes the secure and efficient sharing of digital identity and credential data for maritime, logistics, and mobility sectors. It connects organizations and governments to enable individuals to control and present their verified credentials—like work history or certificates—electronically, reducing paperwork and fraud. By establishing common standards and trust frameworks, GDN enhances transparency, simplifies processes, and supports seamless international movement and employment across industries and borders.
