Private actors and major authorities remain outside the state e-identification system
Published
The state e-identification (statlig e-legitimation) is a digital ID that makes it possible to identify oneself on the internet. According to an article in Dagens Nyheter, several private actors and major authorities still remain outside the system.
The e-identification is issued by the state and can be used to log in to authorities' e-services and to sign documents digitally. Many private companies instead use their own login solutions, for example BankID, which is issued by banks. This means that a person often needs several different digital IDs for different services.
Some large authorities have also not yet joined the state solution. For citizens, this may mean that they cannot use the same login everywhere in society. The newspaper describes that the situation makes it more difficult to achieve a uniform digital identification in Sweden.
It is still unclear when more actors will join the state e-identification. Those who want to know more about the issue can read the full article in Dagens Nyheter.
