📋 Tender Overview
Citizens of the Republic of Slovenia who obtained a new ID card after March 28 2022 will receive initial passwords for activating the electronic ID card and setting the PIN code in their mailboxes these days with which they will be able to start using the electronic ID card to log in to electronic services and electronic signing.We will start sending the initial passwords for activating the electronic identity card and setting the PIN code to users today Monday October 17 2022. Thus they will receive the first initial passwords on Tuesday. Its almost 300000 people so it will take a few days to ship.From now on initial passwords will be sent regularly as planned. Anyone who orders a new identity card will receive the initial password by mail a few days after receiving the identity card or together with the identity card if they pick it up at an administrative unit or diplomatic-consular representation DKP.Citizens will be able to use the electronic identity card to log in to electronic services and sign electronically . Its use in electronic services that use SI-PASS for registration will be possible immediately while the adjustment of other electronic services will be carried out gradually.If we are going to use the new identity card for logging into electronic services and electronic signing we must activate it before the first use we do this only once and for this we need a one-time password which we receive by mail or pick up at the administrative unit. Once the identity card is activated the initial password is no longer needed. For regular use we set our own PIN code during the activation process.Use will be possible using a smart card reader and IDProtect Client software on Windows and Mac operating systems. A mobile application on smartphones will also be available soon which will serve as an electronic ID card reader and a tool for managing and using the electronic ID card. The mobile application will be available in the App Store Google Play and App Gallery.Step by stepActivation of the electronic identity cardinstall the eOIActivator softwareinsert the ID card into the readerenter the initial password that we received in the envelopeenter the CAN code 6 digits printed vertically along the right edge on the front of the ID cardset your PIN code.Using an electronic identity card to log in to the e-serviceinstall the IDProtect Client softwareinsert the ID card into the readerlog in to the e-service which allows you to log in with an electronic identity card if the service requires it enter your PIN code.Using an electronic identity card for an electronic signatureinstall the IDProtect Client softwareinsert the ID card into the readerin the program where we create an electronic signature for example a PDF document reader or a signature component we select a qualified e-signature certificate and enter our PIN code.Note If the user loses the initial password before activation he can activate the electronic identity card with the PUK code for which he must submit a request to the administrative unit or DKP.Important The activation of the electronic identity card or the first setting of the PIN code is done only once. An activated electronic identity card cannot be reactivated.The PIN code will then be used by the user when logging into electronic services and when signing electronically.We would also like to add that the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia is also adjusting its systems so that in the future individuals will be able to use their new ID card instead of their health insurance card when visiting medical institutions. Activation of the electronic identity card is not required for this use. The use of the new identity card for identification purposes in health services is planned for the first half of next year.
