In the spotlight - eID
What’s eID?
eID is a set of services provided by the European Commission to enable the mutual recognition of national electronic identification schemes (eID) across borders. It allows European citizens to use their national eIDs when accessing online services from other European countries.
Interoperability
The eID Building Block ensures interoperability on 4 fronts: legal, organisational, semantic and technical interoperability, providing a powerful enabler of digital operations that require cross-border identity recognition.
Security and trust
The high levels of assurance, possible with eIDAS eIDs, result in a reduced risk of identity theft and misuse of personal information. DIGITAL eID ensures the legal validity of cross-borders transactions, providing the same legal status.
Streamline cross-border operations
The solution drastically reduces the administrative burden, in terms of time, expenses and effort, associated with the use of foreign public services — a necessity for many in an increasingly globalised world.
