Governance of digital identity services
Governance groups are decision-making bodies under the Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Act 2023. Each group has a role in making sure the digital identity system is effective.
The Trust Framework (TF) Board
The Trust Framework Board was established to carry out functions set out in the Act. It’s responsible for:
- recommending draft rules to the Minister, reviewing the rules at a reasonable interval, and recommending updates to them
- recommending regulations to the Minister
- undertaking education and publication of guidance to TF providers and the public
- monitoring the performance and effectiveness of the trust framework
- other functions conferred on the board by the Act or Minister.
The Digital Identity Services Māori Advisory Group
The Māori Advisory Group gives advice to the Trust Framework Board on Māori interests and knowledge related to the operation of the trust framework.

Advice from the Māori Advisory Group to the TF Board
This advice is about the Trust Framework Rules Consultation Plan.
The Māori Advisory Group considers it important to ensure that the consultation process is inclusive, to build trust.
We suggest widening the Māori partner and stakeholder group to be contacted for consultation and have recommended a list of these for your consideration.
We acknowledge that not all the entities/people will have the technical expertise to provide feedback on the Rules. However, it is important that a wider range of stakeholders have visibility of the process that has been undertaken to establish the legislation and the regulatory regime. Many may choose not to respond but may wish to find out more about the DISTF programme/TFA/digital identity, and there should be avenues provided for them to do so.
