The Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev said that all differences on the draft decree on digital passports have been removed in Russia. This week it will be submitted to the Kremlin for the president's consideration, RIA Novosti reports.
“We removed all the differences. Everything was settled, ”the head of the department said.
In October, Shadayev announced that it is planned to start issuing e-passports to citizens in three regions of Russia by the end of 2022. “Our passport will be presented in two forms – a smart card itself, which should replace the traditional paper passport for everyone, the necessary information will be recorded on the chip of this smart card,” he explained.
The second option will be presented in the form of an application on the phone, which will allow in some cases not to show a smart card, but to show a QR code that will confirm the right of a person to perform certain actions, Shadayev said.
