Each step of the IDEF Registry process is a voluntary program.  The IDEF Registry Listing is intended to be an information-sharing resource to report and promote implementation of the Baseline Requirements.  Please note, all persons providing information to IDESG for posting in the IDEF Registry program are required to agree to the IDESG IDEF Registry Supplemental Terms of Use or (pdf).

Quick Start

Ready to Apply?
During these early phases of the IDESG IDEF Registry Program, participants will use a unique URL and ID Code to access their forms for a particular service. You may obtain that code by speaking with the IDESG Administrator at Administrator@IDESG.org.

Before you get started, you will need to:

• decide how many and which services you plan to register; have the URL and a brief (200-character) description for each service
• determine the person who should complete this report (see Who Assesses)
• have your organization’s basic contact information, and DUNS Number or other government-assigned registration number
• review the Functional Model and determine which of the 5 core operation categories – Registration, Authentication, Credentialing, Authorization, Transaction Intermediation – and which of the 5 Functional Element Layer Roles – Relying Parties, Identity Providers, Attribute Providers, Intermediaries, Credential Service Providers – that each service covers.
• review the Baseline Requirements or download our pdf of the requirements and supplemental guidance, the Glossary of Defined Terms and the UX Guidelines and Metrics to prepare offline for your attestation.
