# Beneficiary ID

## Overview

The Beneficiary ID feature enables the reuse of beneficiary registries across campaigns by assigning a unique, reusable ID to each household or individual.

It helps CDDs easily identify beneficiaries during follow-up visits, reducing duplicate records, lowering operational overhead, and ensuring consistency in the database, especially in contexts without a universal national ID system.

## Key Features

* Unique ID Assignment: Pre-generated Beneficiary IDs are created on the server and synced to the app during login, and these IDs are unique across the campaign.
* Offline Access: IDs remain accessible in the app even without internet after login.
* Registry Reuse: The same IDs can be used across multiple campaigns and acts as a permanent ID for the beneficiary.
