Registers as the Single Source of Truth (SSOT)

Registers are more than record-keeping systems, they are the foundation of trust, efficiency, and legitimacy in modern economies. Yet too often, governments allow duplication, fragmentation, and outdated practices to erode their authority. Without becoming true Single Sources of Truth (SSOT), registers cannot deliver the reliability or interoperability required for today’s digital government.

In this new white paper, John Murray, Bill Clarke, and Justin Hygate combine their decades of registry leadership and modernization to examine why becoming an SSOT is critical for the future of registers everywhere. Drawing on lessons from Europe, cross-border initiatives, and practical experience, they explore how governments can modernize their registries and strengthen their role as authoritative base registers.

What’s inside:

🔸The defining characteristics of a true SSOT register
🔸 Why duplication undermines legislation, trust, and efficiency
🔸 How interoperability creates value for governments, businesses, and citizens
🔸 Global case studies and benchmarks from the EU and beyond
🔸 Practical steps jurisdictions can take to transition toward SSOT

This paper is essential reading for registry professionals, policymakers, and digital government leaders committed to modernization. Registers that evolve into SSOTs will not only improve efficiency but also reinforce their role as trusted infrastructure in the global digital economy.
