Earlier this week, the Information System Authority (RIA) and the Smart-ID solution provider SK ID Solutions (SK) signed a contract that will allow Smart-ID to be used as an authentication tool to access state e-services.

As of 5 June, the ID-card software DigiDoc4 can be used to sign documents with Mobile-ID only if the user has updated the software.

On April 1, 2019, an important change will be implemented in the SK Time-Stamping Service which will affect all SK Time-Stamping Service users.

On 1 July, Tieto Estonia AS will be the new provider of ID card support service. The new helpline number is +372 666 8888, and regular landline call rates will apply. Your calls will be answered on working days from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This inquiry enables inspecting whether your card is affected by the security risk:

494,000 ID-cards with a security risk, i.e. 95% of electronically used cards, were renewed by the end of March. As at 1 April, the certificates of almost 300,000 cards were revoked. The cards will still be valid as identity and travel documents until the date marked on the card.

As at the beginning of March, the certificates of nearly 441,000 ID-cards have been renewed, more than 322,000 of which were renewed remotely. Certificates of ID-cards can be renewed until 31 March.

As of November 6 there have been 120 000 ID-card updates. During the last day 18 000 certificates have been updated.

Stenbock House, 2 November 2017 – At today’s cabinet meeting, the Estonian government endorsed the proposal of the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board and the Information System Authority to block the certificates of ID cards at risk on 3 November 2017 at 24.00. All ID cards will continue to function as identification documents. ID cards with blocked certificates can be renewed at the service points of the Police and Border Guard Board, which will be open on the weekend for that purpose, and it is still possible to renew the cards online.
