Those who possess passport or residence permit of Switzerland will be able to get an e-ID in 2026. This update was presented by the Federal Council, as the media of Switzerland reports.
Once gained E-ID, users will be enabled to self-identify in a digital way in a safe, fast and not difficult manner henceforth. Most importantly, this proposal takes into account all security and data privacy issues that everyone had been so concerned about.
Previously, when there was an initiative to launch a private e-ID, it was turned down. «No» votes were significantly caused by matters of security concerning information privacy, as stated.
Now that the scheme of e-ID is planned to make a start, the authorities highlighted that e-ID is given only by state and there is no interference of companies of private sector. Moreover, e-ID is to be kept only on a mobile phone that an individual uses.
The E-ID will be non-mandatory and costless. All services provided by the authorities will keep on being offered in a conventional pattern.
Dominica's Electronic Citizenship Program provides a compelling opportunity for foreign investors to obtain citizenship through investment, delivering a suite of substantial benefits tailored for personal convenience and strategic financial management.
At the moment, Dominica does not offer digital citizenship in the way it is implemented in some other countries, such as Estonia, where anyone can become an e-resident and do business in the European Union while remaining physically outside of it.
Dominica and the Dominican Republic are often confused due to their similar names, but they differ significantly in geography, culture, and governance.
