Estonia, one of the world’s pioneers in digital governance and digital IDs, is expecting its national digital identity mobile application to be available in the summer. The news comes after delays to the app rollout were announced in October due to legislative and technical hurdles.
However, Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna shared a new timeline for the app known as mRiik (mState). The country’s Information System Authority (RIA) also said that it’s planning to hold a public procurement for additional development of the app. The main task of development will fall on RIA but the agency will also seek help from an additional team, Greta Preast, head of the mobile application department for RIA said during a press conference.
