National Design Studio

A federal office created by Executive Order 14338 (August 2025) to design U.S. government digital services and websites, operating the ndstudio.gov domain footprint.

Why it’s on the map

NDS is the hub of this map’s federal-identity thread: the office that registers or builds a striking share of new government identity systems — a White House–owned passports.gov portal, a login.gov expansion toward passports and licenses, a preview rebuild of vote.gov — with no published privacy assessments. The bulk of the domain, surveillance, and personnel claims in this map trace back to NDS infrastructure as documented by The Drey Dossier.
