Digital ID to access online services

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Also referred to as "e-ID" in some countries, it can be used through secure login methods, such as usernames, passwords, or multi-factor authentication to offer personalized online/mobile services to the user. Portal authentication ensures that the user's identity has to be verified when getting online.
