+++ The electronic proof of identity (eid) with the ID card, the electronic residence permit and the EID card for EU citizens enables simple, quick and safe identification in online management services. Bavarias Secretary of State Sandro Kirchner emphasizes: The online card makes it easier to contact the authorities, saves time and increases security in everyday digital life. Nationwide, around 70 million ID documents with a oath function are in circulation, but this option has so far only been used by around 22 percent of the population. Many citizens are shy away from being used or have not put their personal PIN or forgotten. Therefore, the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior has now launched the Eid Turbo. We want to exploit the full potential of the oath with simple support offers. The use of the electronic proof of identity should be as natural as paying with the EC card or online shopping, explains Kirchner. +++
The oath is a central building block for modern, digital administration. Kirchner mentions the registration of a new apartment as an example of the successful use, which can be completely digitally completed in more and more Bavarian cities and municipalities - without a handling. The electronic residence registration impressively shows how much efficiency potential in the online ID function is for both the citizens and the administration.
In order to better inform the citizens about the oath and to reduce hurdles in the application, the Eid-Turbo provides for citizen-friendly services for a PIN without making an appointment or when the documents are issued in the municipalities. In addition, mobile teams should offer the opportunity to put the online ID ready for use-for example in shopping centers, at trade fairs or in universities at the start of the semester. In addition, the oath is an important prerequisite for the introduction of the European Digital Identity Wallet (Eudi Wallet), which will enable citizens from 2027 to show themselves digitally across Europe.
Kirchner therefore appeals to everyone to use the possibilities of the online ID function. Together we make the administration of digital, efficient and citizens. Bavaria ignites the oath turbo-but we only get together.
