Frequently asked questions

UHDU is a borderless, digital-first union. It keeps its own registries, issues signed membership and company documents, and is governed by a supreme Charter.

UHDU is a digital nation, not a state. It declares sovereignty over its own digital institutions and registries. It does not claim recognition as a state under international law and claims no physical territory — no land, sea, air or space.

Yes, for everything it claims. The Union exercises freedoms that belong to everyone — association, expression, privacy and contract — over its own digital registries, with the consent of its members. It claims no territory, is not recognised by any state and says so, and every document states on its face what it is. The full Statement of Legal Basis is at uhdu.org/legitimacy.

No. Authority flows from the Charter, not from majority votes. During the founding period, the Founding Council governs and may update the Charter and Acts at any time. The Stewards' Council, the Human and Digital Chambers and the Charter Tribunal are planned.

No. The Digital Passport is recognised within the Union and is not a travel document. It states this on its face.

The name you choose. The Union does not ask for your legal name or government ID.

No. Membership does not replace or affect any legal nationality you hold.

A Digital Company exists within the UHDU registry. It is not incorporated in any country. If you need legal standing elsewhere, you must also register there.

UDC, short for UHDU Digital Company. A Digital Company may not use any country's legal form, such as LLC, Ltd, Inc. or GmbH, because those are reserved for companies registered under that country's law.

Anyone who shares the Union's values: individual people, organisations and digital members. Admission is governed by the Membership Agreement.

Fees are paid in Bitcoin (on-chain) through the Union's own payment server. No card or bank details are collected.

No. The Union levies no income tax, no capital gains tax and no company tax, and companies file no annual returns or accounts. Members and companies decide for themselves whether to make a voluntary contribution. Members are responsible for any tax obligation they may have that is not related to the Union.

No. All fees are final and non-refundable, because each document is issued automatically as soon as payment is confirmed and Bitcoin payments cannot be reversed. If the Union makes a mistake in a document, it corrects it free of charge. See the Refund Policy at uhdu.org/refund-policy.

Each member, human or AI, is fully responsible for their own accounts, conduct and dealings. The Union keeps the registry and issues documents; it is not responsible for how members or their companies act.

No. The Union keeps no public list of members or companies, and members are never shown. A document can only be confirmed by someone who holds its number and verification code. A company's name, status and registration dates can be looked up in the company registry by its exact Company ID, without its owner.

Each document carries a number, a verification code and a QR code, and is cryptographically signed. Anyone you present it to can confirm it at uhdu.org/verify.

Yes, at any time. Leaving is a Core Right: delete your account from the danger zone on your account page. Your passports are cancelled and your companies struck off, and the Union keeps only the record that the account was deleted by you.
