Estonian Mobile ID allows people to use a mobile phone as a form of a secure digital ID.
Like the ID card, it can be used to access secure e-services and digitally sign documents but has the added advantage of not requiring a card reader.
The system is based on a special mobile SIM card, which the customer must request from the mobile phone operator. Private keys are stored on the mobile SIM card along with a small application delivering the authentication and signature functions.
The following forms of identification are permissible:
Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Belgian ID cards
Estonian e-resident cards
Estonian Smart ID
Estonian and Lithuanian Mobile IDs
However, it should be noted that legal statuses are subject to change over time. Therefore, it is imperative to remain vigilant and keep abreast of any such developments.
