Vilnius, Lithuania – August 26, 2025 – Governments worldwide now have direct access to NRD Companies’ Unified Registry Platform (URP) – an integral platform for building advanced registry solutions under various jurisdictions, through the GovStack Marketplace (GovMarket), marking a milestone in advancing interoperable digital government infrastructure.
GovStack, a global initiative led by BMZ/GIZ, the Government of Estonia, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is reshaping how governments build digital services. By promoting the use of interoperable “building blocks” – reusable software components covering areas like identity, registries, payments, and data exchange – GovStack helps countries reduce costs, avoid duplication, and accelerate service delivery. For many governments, especially in resource-constrained settings, this approach is a game-changer.
As noted by Katharina Manz, member of the GovStack Advisory Board, on the GovStack website – “The beauty of the GovStack approach lies in its openness and flexibility: GovStack does not offer any one-size-fits-all solutions. It is like an empty house with white walls and doors and staircases in all the necessary places that link one room and floor to a completely other, with a basic kitchen and all the essential safety features like fire alarms.”
In this context, the inclusion of NRD Companies’s URP on GovMarket brings governments a ready-to-deploy solution for one of the most critical elements of national infrastructure: registries. Civil, business, beneficiaries, collaterals, and licensing registries form the backbone of public administration, yet many countries face challenges such as siloed systems, fragmented data, and multi-year implementation cycles. The URP addresses these issues head-on. Fully aligned with GovStack’s Digital Registries Building Block specifications, it consolidates and secures registry data, ensures interoperability with other digital services, and can be deployed in under a year – offering governments both speed and confidence in modernization efforts.
NRD Companies’ commitment to GovStack goes beyond technology. The company is an active contributor to the initiative, with specialists certified across all major GovStack building blocks and serving in Digital Registries and Payments working groups that shape global specifications and use cases. This hands-on advocacy demonstrates that NRD Companies is not only aligned with GovStack principles but is actively helping to define the specifications.
The availability of URP on GovMarket underscores the strength of collaboration between GovStack and solution providers like NRD Companies. By combining global standards with proven technologies, governments are better equipped to build digital services that are sustainable, secure, and trusted by their citizens.
