IT Support System Completed In Hungary For New Unified E-Card

Work has been completed on creating a background IT system suitable for introducing a national electronic identification card (NEK) which integrates ID systems for various state and local government services. The government submitted a bill earlier this year on introducing a new chip card which carries relevant data for a variety of purposes such as an individual’s residence permit, tax number, health-insurance number and driving licence.
Eventually the 800 million forint (EUR 2.56m) database may even unlock access to transport, education, cultural and sports services via the e-card, the project manager of the Central Office for Administrative and Electronic Public Services (KEKKH), József Varga, told a press conference.
The planned application process includes verifying the personal identity of an applicant, taking a photograph as well as a signature.
The data would then be keyed into the KEKKH’s central database
