eTalk: NOBID Cooperation

By Tor Alvik, Head of Digital Strategies and Coordination, Ministry of Local Government and Modernization, DIFI, Norway

The Nordic-Baltic region is well-positioned to show the way for digitalisation of Europe. A mature eID infrastructure and high-quality base registers lay the basis for access to services and flow of information cross-border in the region. The cross-border use of eID can be the single most important measure in making day-to-day life easier for the region’s residents when dealing with another Nordic-Baltic country. 

 

The Nordic council of ministers has established the MR-digital which will promote a cohesive and integrated digital Nordic region. One of the foundations for the co-operation on digitalisation is the joint declaration made by Nordic and Baltic ministers at a ministerial meeting. The declaration expressed a desire to strengthen digital co-operation in the region and to leverage its leading position in order to spearhead the realization of a digital single market and to develop a cohesive digital infrastructure in the region for the benefit of its residents, businesses, and public administrations.

​

The Nordic-Baltic eID project (NOBID) sets out “[…] to enable unique identity number usage across borders and to facilitate cooperation between national infrastructures for the use of electronic authentication (eID) in accordance with the eIDAS-regulation […]” as set out in the declaration from MR. Digital.

​

Based on the eIDAS regulation this project investigates services where Nordic and Baltic citizens could benefit from cross-border eID interoperability and takes initiatives to the removal of legal barriers and the establishment of technical solutions.

​

The project draws attention to three areas of importance for the success of the cross-border use of national eIDs:

  • The interconnection of national eID infrastructures

  • Address and solve legal issues critical for the cross-border use of national person identifiers

  • Identification highlighting and promotion of services with high user benefit
