UNJSPF Digital CE

UNICC

About this app

The current paper-based process for the UNJSPF Certificate of Entitlement to prove a retiree’s/beneficiary’s eligibility for continued pension caters to over 70 thousand retirees and beneficiaries located in more than 190 countries. As it uses postal services, the process is very slow and cumbersome.

The App uses facial biometric technology, liveness check and geo-location to submit a Digital Certificate of Entitlement to a secure blockchain. Use of location makes it possible for retirees and beneficiaries paid under the two-track to also use the app.

All user data is stored securely either in the App or in data centres protected by UN Privileges and Immunity. No cloud-based services are used for processing of user information.

The paper-based CE will continue to be an option for the retires/beneficiaries who cannot/ do not want to use the app.

Ratings and reviews

It took me 2 days to renew the certificate. First day, it kept giving me messages to set allowances, everything was allowed but still didnt work. Second day, it took forever for the photo vetification process, starts the process then freezes, then I start over, same thing. I had to redo it more than 5 times, until it finally worked. Horrible application and process.

I tried a gazillion times to get the app to take the photo and then I had to go through the whole process again for the second photo. Impossible to get the phone to focus and even when it does, it stops when you click on the start button. I was in tears with the help desk telling me the same thing over and over again: "It's easy. Try again, please. Move your phone. Move your face. Don't move your face. Get someone to take it for you. Restart the app. " These requirements have to stop!

This is an absolutely shambolic app. It's so bad, that it took about 6 calls to the help desk to sort the validation error i kept getting. The number of times that I tried using it to get the certification must have exceeded 20. They even asked me to set the App on my wife's phone to see if it would work.....It's not right that the UNJSPF inflicts this piece shyte on retirees. Please let us have an option to upload a jpeg of the certificate.
