For whom is it for? • A possibility for non-Estonianresidents to identify them-selves online and obtain access to Estonian e-services. • First such concept in the world. • Estonian consulates all over the world will be issuing chips which can be used to identify oneself online via a computer or a mobile phone. • Not a right, but a privilege, i.e. if mis-used then the online-ID can be taken from the person. • At the first stage the online ID is for non- Estonian: • Shareholders • Board members of Estonian companies • Diplomats • Visiting students, scholars • In the future: • Persons not connected to Estonia so far, but who could benefit from secure online identification and e-services ONLINE ID
