In Moscow are preparing an experiment on digital replacement of the main document.
Moscow is preparing an experiment to run the application “Mobile ID”, a replacement passport. With it, you can get a number of services to submit the tax Declaration physical persons, to check in or Board the train. Most likely, the project “virtual passport” will cancel the outdated idea of the “electronic identity cards” because getting the “Mobile identifier” associates the registration data and biometrics is the first step to no need to verify the identity of any material object. It is expected that the app will be available in Moscow in December 2020. Experts say that, judging from the experience of launching electronic services in connection with the pandemic, to debug the system and run it on the entire territory of the Russian Federation may take a few years.
On the territory of Moscow from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 will be conducted the experiment “to create, activate and use the mobile application “Mobile ID”” instead of the main identity document of a Russian citizen (passport), in the provision of a “separate state, municipal and other services”, follows from the draft government resolution. Document Monday, may 25, was published on the portal regulation.gov.ru but within the hour was removed. This is not an exceptional case, this happens frequently and can be caused by the fear of some nervousness of the population associated with any digital innovations after the introduction of April in the framework of self-isolation digital badges.
Note, in the Moscow city hall on Monday could not comment on what is happening on the request “b”.
In the experiment will participate Minsitry, Ministry of economy, Ministry of internal Affairs, FSB, the government of Moscow “Rostelecom”, ANO “Digital economy”, individual entrepreneurs and individuals on a purely voluntary basis. The project will require a normative change, which recognizes “information that is generated electronically using a mobile app” as a replacement passport. Based on experience from previous experiments in the MFC system, the experiment is actually providing to anyone in the region (in the project specified only Moscow) possibilities to use this option.
In particular, with an electronic signature and an application instead of a passport will be possible to register the IP, report to the police about the incident, to file tax returns on income of natural persons, to obtain extracts from the state register to register the place of residence, to dispose of pension savings and to make a variety of electronic contracts, check in for domestic flights, to plant��I’m in the train, to confirm the legal age when buying alcohol and tobacco products and to register in hotels.
the application Itself and the infrastructure necessary for its operation must be developed before December 1 of this year — the same date, the Moscow city government will select the operator of the regional infrastructure and will choose at least two of the IFC, where it will be possible to access the application. The interior Ministry, in turn, will also synchronize the “Cell identifier” with the immigration and registration account.
the Application can be put on a smartphone or tablet with Internet access, need to be confirmed by the account in the unified system of identification and authentication (on the portal “public Services”) and control access to information resources of Moscow, and will also need to submit biometric data (the face video and voice recording) in cryptocarya installed in the pilot IFC (cryptobiosis already supplies “Rostelecom” together with the concern Automation of the state Corporation “rostec”; while they are used for withdrawal of biometrics in the issuance of passports).
you will Also be able to request the creation of key reinforced qualified electronic signature for subsequent remote use, this will expand the list of operations available to the user “mobile passport”. The order granting permission to use the data terminal will determine Minsitry.
to Participate in the experiment will be able to citizens over 18 years of age, registered at the place of residence or stay in Moscow.
responsibility for the actions using the application will be borne by the citizens — a pilot project of the order expressly prohibits “the transfer of an individual mobile device with the installed and activated the mobile app for use by another person”.
it is unknown to what extent the start of the experiment cancels the long-debated program of translation of Russian internal passports to digital media — plastic ID card. At the end of 2019, plans to issue this year the first batch of electronic passports said former profile Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Akimov — then it was on a plastic card with a Russian chip and mobile app. The latest version of this type of projects involve the transition to them in Russia in 2025. If the “virtual passport” to be successful, the need for these identifiers, and, in fact, paper passports will be called into question.
Nutsprogramme Digital economy requires by 2024 70% of public services to provide in electronic form. The new head of Minsitry Maksut Shadaev in February said that to simplify document management and automation of citizens in various��wide office, you must enter the legal significance of digital identity. It is now used this method of identification — enhanced digital signature, but its results were noted. In the neighboring countries, the new practice is already being implemented.
So, in April 2020, the government of Ukraine has approved the country’s use of electronic passports in the mobile app. At the same time, note what is happening and opens up the possibility for future reform of the system of international passports.
“an Experiment which is planned to be held in Moscow, will allow us to most accurately determine what infrastructure and to what extent, to identify the barriers to the implementation of the project and to clarify the schedule for full implementation”, — said the acting head of the project office to implement the program of “Digital economy” Analytical center under the government of the Russian Federation Sergey Leshchenko.
Director of group counseling on prospective technologies, KPMG in Russia and the CIS Sergei Vikharev said that one of the testing purposes on the territory of Moscow is to check the readiness of the infrastructure. first, even state agencies, checking IDs with the bearer can create a significant load on the service.
in addition to the devices, the infrastructure needs to provide data transfer and fast processing, including access to databases. The launch of e-services in a pandemic and benefits showed that the training it requires thorough. In any case, the debugging system and equipping corresponding devices may take a few years, the expert believes.
