X Infotech, a Latvian software provider, has won a procurement for creating a technical solution for collecting e-residents’ biometric data via mobile devices, the Estonian Ministry of the Interior’s Information Technology and Development Centre (SMIT) has announced. The application to be developed will enable applicants for e-Residency, starting in 2027, to verify their identity securely via a smartphone application.

Submitting biometric data through a mobile app will make the e-Residency application process more convenient and faster, and is a prerequisite for eventually replacing the current physical card–based e-resident digital identity entirely with a mobile solution. The solution being developed must also meet the European Union’s eIDAS regulation’s stringent security requirements, ensuring that the e-resident digital ID remains usable for authentication and for providing electronic signatures equivalent to handwritten signatures.
