Services with Kaldus is important for many people, especially if they live in Kaldus. However, some of the features may also be available to people outside of Kaldus. If the customer wishes to use an available service, then they will need to create an account with KCI. This will mean the customer will need a Kaldan GIN, and NIN to provide services. For a foreigner to acquire a GIN, they will need to provide proof of identity, and proof of citizenship. This is because the NIN is partially tied to what country the customer is a citizen of.

This is designed to compete with other providers, and intended to make integration with Kal-OS as simple as possible.

This service will be $10/month, and the advantage of this for Kal-Post is the reduction of needing to produce stamps, while charging the same price for postage.
