The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has launched a pilot project to create digital ID for Ukrainian citizens – verification of the identity of users of electronic registers.

“For this purpose, the technical condition and security level as well as the reliability of the existing registers will be checked over the next six months, in particular by comparing the data of different registers,” the press service of the government said.

Digital IDs will also allow to detect and eliminate data duplication about one person or cloning of a unique user account.

“This verified data will be used to hold an All-Ukrainian population census. In addition, it will allow the government to simplify all the procedures for assigning and paying social benefits in the future,” reads the statement.
