Membership in the Council
Who is eligible for Membership in the Council of Enrollment Officers?
Membership in the Council of Enrollment Officers is open to individuals who are empowered by public authority to administer an Oath of Identity and who meet the following additional criteria:
- Employed full time as a Vital Records Administrator for a municipality, state, province, or sovereign nation or

Can you...

- Assess PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) and FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) collegial attestations?
- Determine who owns the credential?
Are you qualified to perform credential quality assessments?
Learn how to examine an identity token or a computer's keystore facility and receive your certification for Credential Quality assessments. This Identity Quality score #6 will become increasingly important as mobile phones are used more and more as tokens. And people whose work calls for the highest Identity Quality scores are the ones with the biggest budgets!
