Electronic ID Function: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use your digital identity to access secure government services online using your existing ID card.
The Electronic ID Function allows you to use your physical ID card to prove your identity digitally when using online government services.
Who it's for
This function is available to all holders of a valid national ID card.
What you get
You receive a secure digital identity. This allows you to complete official tasks and access various government services online without needing to visit an office in person.
What it costs you
There is no monetary fee to use this service. However, you will need a smartphone equipped with NFC technology (the same tech used for contactless payments) and a personal PIN to use it.
The catch to know
The most common issue is forgetting your 6-digit PIN. Without this code, you will not be able to access your digital identity.
How to apply
- Ensure you have a compatible smartphone with NFC capabilities.
- Set up your PIN for your ID card.
- Download the required application on your mobile device.
- Follow the prompts in the app to link your card.
