Certificates and cards
We produce certificates for citizens, organisations, as well as the social welfare and healthcare sector.
The most recognised certificate we produce is the Citizen Certificate, which is on national ID cards issued by the police.
Other certificate products we produce include smart cards, server certificates and e-mail certificates used by organisations as well as smart cards and server certificates used by the social welfare and healthcare sector. We also issue biometric signature certificates for travel documents, such as passports.
At the start of its activities, the Digital and Population Data Services Agency will continue to issue certificates under the name of the Population Register Centre. In the future, certificates will be issued under the name of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
