This has been around in Poland for several years already. You get all your official documents (ID, driver's license etc) in one app called mObywatel (mCitizen). Works really well.

België kennende, gaan we dit weer moeilijker maken dan nodig is... Wrs weer 7 privébedrijven hetzelfde laten doen. Net zoals we Ebox, Doccle, Burgerprofiel etc hebben... Doen allemaal hetzelfde, had gewoon 1 app kunnen zijn, maar dat was te gemakkelijk...

Ga je sigaretten halen en moet je je ID tonen, dan gebruik je de app van MyID.

Houdt de politie je tegen, laat je je ID zien in de app van BelPass

In de apotheek wrs je pas laten zien met wéér een andere app, iDentity.

Helft van deze comments stelt voor om dit gewoon in ItsMe te integreren. Maar geen enkele van de overbetaalde overheidsinginieurs zal hier zelfs nog maar aan denken...

Nee dank je. Ik zou liever hebben dat ze eerst maar eens de chip op de identiteitskaart vullen door het rijbewijs erbij te integreren.

I am actually really happy about this.

Fun fact: this has been possible for like 5 years in the US with Apple wallet and Google wallet. They both support digital ID and driver licences in multiple US states and every government agency like TSA recognises them.

Wel handig, maar is platte batterij dan een geldig excuus om geen id te tonen? 😛

So will that also have PUK codes that you need to activate the card?

Aangekondigd voor 2026, dus ten vroegste 2028 te verwachten.

Comes in handy if you lose your ID. Once I lost it and went on a holiday 2 days after that. Luckily I had my international pasport to pass the Croatian border. My parents lost their belongings at the airport in Iceland and couldn’t even check in the hotel without it. If you don’t have it physically at least you always have an ID. And privacy? Funny people are complaining as everything else is already digitalised. Nothing changes there.

The tech already exists, the app has been ready for a year now. This should also have been done and functional by the end of 2024, but of course our government can never do anything on time.

It's ridiculous that it's taking the government this long to develop something so simple.

How many apps? Guess the shops, government & everyone might as well hand over free smartphones. Why can't there be less & more secure apps?

Ik gebruik nu ook al overal waar het kan ItsMe, dus ja graag nog gemakkelijker maken/verder standaardiseren.
