. This will have the same data as the current physical, such as name, surname, identification number, place and date of birth, sex, signature and photo.

“The determining factor of this card is that the citizen will not have to physically carry it, Through any smartphone and the application of the Registrar’s Office, with the morphology of the face, facial biometrics, you can access it in real time”, Explained Alexánder Vega, national registrar.

But, in addition, it will have an encrypted QR code that will have security information and biometric data of the citizen, which, according to the entity, makes it “unforgeable”.

“The most important thing that the ID has is the issue of security, it is an unfalsifiable card, a card that encrypts or saves all the personal data of the citizen, “noted the registrar.

In this digital document you can also have other information such as the civil registry, the driver’s license, the medical history and even a certification of organ donation. This new ID becomes a complement to the current one and both will be valid.
