However, whether a digital ID card or driver's license will be accepted for identification will remain at the discretion of the institutions. Minister of Digital Transformation Stefan Andonovski calls on institutions to treat the application like documents. The initial goal is to publish the application, so that citizens have it and then start the process of changing regulations and laws if the need arises. As a lawyer, I think that the notification letter as a personal document should be treated equally whether as a physical or electronic document. Let's see if institutions are willing to accept it with existing regulations and if they are not, let's see if we can change them, declared Stefan Andonovski - Minister of Digital Transformation. Digital documents will not replace the physical documents that all citizens carry with them. We will not make them mandatory and we will not exclude documents made of paper or plastic such as ID cards or driver's licenses. Citizens who want to use traditional documents will be able to use them physically. We want to work with those citizens or companies who need to perform services faster, more easily and more efficiently and who are only just getting used to using electronic means, said Stefan Andonovski - Minister of Digital Transformation.
