From 1 September 2021, Monégasques and residents will be able to link a digital identity to their new ID. This identity will allow a “highly secure, simple authentication without the need for additional proof” in any State-related identification process, such as obtaining civil status records online, electronic signature of contracts, etc… The individual’s approval is of course required for the creation of a digital identity.
“More than ever, in the current context the question of identity security, whether physical or digital, remains paramount. Our teams are working hand in hand with Monaco’s Government to guarantee its citizens a simpler, more reliable, and more intelligent daily life,” said Didier Trutt, Chairman and CEO of In Groupe.
