Cyprus is about to launch its new electronic identification system, IDMe.cy, with applications opening on January 27, 2025. The system will provide Cypriot citizens with digital identification capabilities that comply with European Union eIDAS standards for cross-border electronic transactions, marking a significant advancement in the country’s digital infrastructure development. The eID system has received European Commission approval at the highest security level under the eIDAS regulation, enabling its use for secure electronic transactions across EU member states. This certification aligns with the EU’s recent technical standards for cross-border Digital Identity Wallets, positioning Cyprus among the early adopters of standardized digital identity solutions in Europe. The system integrates with Cyprus’s existing CY Login platform and the Hippodamos system, with planned expansions to include the Companies Registrar, Intellectual Property Office, and Department of Road Transport.
