Is passport or ID registration required to activate a CoreESIM plan?

Updated April 22, 2026

CoreESIM's operational model eliminates the requirement for passport or ID registration during activation. Unlike the process for acquiring a local physical SIM card in many countries, such as at Ouagadougou International Airport (OUA) in Burkina Faso, which often involves mandatory in-person identity verification, CoreESIM functions as a roaming data service. This means your CoreESIM profile activates digitally, providing immediate connectivity without the need to submit personal documents, ensuring a private and efficient setup for international travelers.
