eID-Me Digital ID | Ontario Digital Identity App Launch Teaser

eID-Me is a secure digital identity smartphone app. It digitizes and securely stores government-issued identity and self-managed identity information on your smartphone.

Features and partnerships are now being developed to make online identity verification quicker, easier and more secure by eliminating passwords and strengthening privacy protection.

To be clear, eID-Me won't work as legal ID at launch. Our goal is to improve access to services that require verified identity, including government, financial, health care, legal, and more. We're developing partnerships to get that done. Launching the eID-Me app is a necessary step in that process because it demonstrates eID-Me's viability as a verified digital identity.

eID-Me's digital ID can currently serve as a secure backup of your identity information in case you lose your physical ID documents.

We appreciate your help.

This is where you will also have to store your digital vaccine passport. It will also hold your finger prints, facial recognition software, banking information, And your location.

I can't wait until I'm wallet free, using biometrics is so much more secure - not to mention good-bye plastic cards lol!! Here's one Ontario resident very excited! Now all we need is digital Presto cards...
