The Identity Layer for Infrastructure.^™

PIID™ gives every structure a persistent identity,
creating a common
reference that enables existing
systems and identifiers to interoperate
around the
same physical asset.

Powered by PIID™, UMIP gives every infrastructure asset a persistent identity, enabling every sector, organization, and system to reference the same asset in the same way.

The problem

The world’s infrastructure has no identity.

A PERSON
IDENTITY
An identity established early in life and referenced across institutions, records, and systems.
A VEHICLE
VIN 1HGCM82633A004352
A permanent identifier assigned at the factory that persists across ownership, registration, and sale.
A STRUCTURE
NO PERSISTENT IDENTIFIER
The most valuable asset most people will ever own has no persistent identity and no permanent record.

Identity continuity

Different systems.
One identity per structure.

A persistent reference resolves records without replacing them.

The built worldalready has references.

The built world already has references.

Parcel IDs identify land parcels. Addresses point to locations. Permit, policy, and loan numbers identify individual records. Each serves a different purpose.

Across the built environment, critical systems still rely on identifiers that were never designed to persist with the infrastructure itself. The result is fragmented records, unresolved assets, and downstream systems operating without a common reference layer.

Without identity.

Records remain fragmented.
Automation breaks across systems.
AI lacks persistent asset context.
Infrastructure cannot become truly interoperable.

Why the built environment lacks a persistent identity layer, and what changes when one exists.

Read The Infrastructure Identity Gap™

The solution

One Identity.Across Every Sector.Across Every System.

ASSIGNED ONCE
A structure receives a single PIID™.
PERMANENT
Its identity persists for the life of the asset.
INDEPENDENT
It is not dependent on any single dataset, jurisdiction, or vendor.

More data won’t solve an identity problem.

PIID™ establishes a persistent identity layer that allows data, records, systems, and software to reference the same physical structure across its lifecycle.

Identity before data.
Trust before automation.
Interoperable by design.

Persistent Infrastructure Identity (PIID™) gives every structure a reference point that persists across ownership, organizations, systems, and decades of change. Lending, insurance, construction, government, digital twins, and AI can reference the same physical asset with certainty.

When identity persists, records connect. Systems interoperate. Infrastructure becomes intelligible across its lifecycle.

How it works

From property referenceto connected lifecycle.

THE PROPERTY
Start with the existing references.
A parcel defines the land. An address describes its location. These are references existing systems already use.
THE STRUCTURES
Identify the physical assets.
Each qualifying structure is referenced through its own PIID™, creating a persistent identity for the physical asset itself.
THE RECORDS
Connect systems through identity.
Different systems retain their own records and identifiers while PIID™ gives them a persistent way to reference the same physical structure.
THE LIFECYCLE
Maintain continuity through time.
Supported permits, policies, loans, inspections, improvements, and other lifecycle events remain connected to the same persistent structure identity as circumstances change.

One structure identity.Across systems. Through time.

INFRASTRUCTURE INTELLIGENCE

When identitypersists, infrastructurebecomes intelligible.When identity persists,infrastructure becomes intelligible.

PIID™ gives systems a persistent reference to the same physical structure. Lifecycle™ keeps supported records, events, relationships, and history connected to that identity through time.

Together, they turn fragmented infrastructure information into connected intelligence that can be understood across systems, sectors, and the life of the asset.

Platform

The platform behind the identity layer.

UMIP establishes the operating foundation for persistent infrastructure identity. PIID™ identifies the structure. Lifecycle™ defines how its record is organized through time. UMIP Registry™ preserves the identity, relationships, lineage, and verified events that allow systems to reference the same physical asset consistently.

Together, these layers create the foundation for interoperability, automation, lifecycle continuity, and intelligent infrastructure systems.

Foundation
PIID™
The persistent identity for infrastructure.
Globally unique. Assigned to the structure itself. Preserved for the life of the asset.
PIID™ does not depend on any single dataset, jurisdiction, organization, or vendor. It gives systems a persistent reference to the same physical structure across records, ownership, organizations, and time.
One structure. One persistent identity.
Record Framework
Lifecycle™
The framework for continuity through time.
Lifecycle™ establishes how attributes, records, events, and history remain connected to a persistent structure identity throughout the life of the asset.
Permits, inspections, policies, transactions, improvements, and other verified lifecycle events can remain associated with the same structure as systems, ownership, and conditions change.
A continuous record built around the identity of the asset.
System of Record
UMIP Registry™
The trusted system of record for infrastructure identity.
UMIP Registry™ preserves PIID™ identities, source relationships, lifecycle records, verification history, and the references required to resolve infrastructure consistently across systems.
It supports the capabilities required to register, resolve, verify, search, connect, and preserve infrastructure identity at scale.
The persistent memory of the infrastructure identity layer.

Provides AI and analytical systems with persistent asset context across records, systems, and time.
Interoperable by Design
Allows existing systems to retain their own records while referencing the same physical infrastructure through a persistent identity.

Governed by GIIS™

Identity requires rules.

The Global Infrastructure Identity Standard establishes the governance framework for persistent infrastructure identity, creating consistency in how infrastructure is identified, referenced, resolved, and maintained across organizations and systems.

GIIS™ protects the integrity of the identity layer as adoption expands.
