Nevada issues marriage certificate through Ethereum
【Published by Ling Yu Han (凌郁涵)】
As per reports, two counties, Washoe and Elko, in the state have started trialing and using Etherium blockchain for security to store and hand out digital copies of birth certificates and marriage licenses. At the moment, about 950 such certificates have been issued out, since its inception in April.
Although the blockchain allows for certificates to be processed in a day as opposed to the standard up to 10 business days waiting period, there has been some resistance to automate.
According to a Washoe County tech, Hunter Halcomb, there have been encouraging feedback however he points out, “some people say, ‘Nah, I don’t use email so I don’t want it’.”
Counties in Nevada have been testing the technology for records ever since Senate Bill 398 was introduced and eventually passed. The new law incorporates smart contracts into the state’s electronics records law and any blockchain-related transactions are currently recognized by the state. Meanwhile, Colorado is also following suit with the state looking to promote blockchain innovation in the state by introducing an exemption for cryptocurrencies from securities laws. And then there is Ohio, trialing an initiative to let business pay taxes via cryptos.
Governments around the world are increasingly using blockchain technology for management. The District Government of New South Wales, Australia, has also introduced a digital driving license system based on blockchain technology. In India, Telangana also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with several companies to implement Decentralized Bookkeeping Technology (DLT) in the government’s public sector.
