Travel and Health Declaration System

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The Travel and Health Declaration System (THDS) is a free-for-use Cloud-based visitor registration system, leveraging on Singapore's National Digital Identity programme. It allows users to leverage on trusted citizen information to auto-fill information, and notify them upon successful declaration. Using this system allows businesses to verify user identity with data from Government sources to facilitate contact tracing work, should the need arise.
