Summary

The bill strengthens the measures to ensure that the national identity document is issued only to the authorized person. The draft creates a legal basis for the e-resident's digital identity card (digi-ID) application to be returned regardless of review, if the applicant is a citizen of a country with a greater risk of money laundering or terrorist financing, or with which Estonia does not have a cooperation relationship in the field of justice, security or law enforcement (countries with restrictions on e-residency). With the bill the PPA has the right to demand a DNA examination in the event that a person applies for an identity document of an Estonian citizen for the first time and there is a reasonable suspicion that the document allowing identification of Estonian citizenship issued in a foreign country is not genuine or its basic data is not correct. The bill creates an opportunity to verify identity through the mobile application of the Estonian Information Gate.
