ID-Austria: The Future of Digital Official Procedures and Signatures – FIDO Token, Digital ID Cards, and More!

2023-12-17 09:13:33

Two million people in Austria now use ID-Austria to complete official procedures online. After a pilot phase, regular operations began on December 5th, with ID-Austria replacing the previously widely used cell phone signature.

Since full operation on December 5th alone, there have been 182,000 changes or new issues, according to a statement from the Ministry of Finance.

In addition to completing official procedures digitally, the application can also be used to sign digital documents online. In addition, ID-Austria also offers the option of using new digital ID cards such as the digital driving license or the digital proof of age. By replacing the cell phone signature with ID Austria, Austria meets EU requirements.

FIDO Token: Log-in ohne Smartphone

To register with ID Austria, a smartphone is usually used on which biometric data such as a fingerprint is stored. If you don’t want that, you can use a FIDO token. This is a hardware key that can do without biometrics. When choosing a product, you have to make sure that it is supported by ID Austria.
