Binomial nomenclature does not uniquely define a species unfortunately, there are several duplicates.

The Wikispecies directory shows 5 duplicates: each of this is with an organism from kingdom Animalia and another from either Plantae or Fungi.

Therefore, you could conclude that binomial nomenclature is a unique identifier within a kingdom.
