Spain has launched MiDNI, a new mobile digital ID app intended to replace (or at least complement) the physical national ID (DNI). The app provides a secure, signed QR code, usable for everyday tasks such as checking into hotels, opening bank accounts, and signing papers. The physical card is still valid during a transition period, giving organizations 12 months to adapt. Euro Weekly News Looking ahead to 2026, Spain plans to add digital signatures and remote ID verification to MiDNI, enabling more online administrative services and reducing the need for in-person visits. To enroll, users must register their identity online or in person, link a phone number, and confirm their physical ID. Notably, MiDNI does not locally store users’ full personal data, it fetches needed attributes from the DNI database in real time. |

In May, the government announced it would establish a digital ID infrastructure to manage citizens’ personal data securely as part of its public services modernization drive. The Ministry of Technology and Communications had completed 37 digital government systems as of this past February as it seeks to spur socio-economic development with open source technology and digital public infrastructure (DPI). |

The agency developing and managing the national citizen database is the Ministry of Public Security, while other ministries will need to ensure that their data systems are ready for secure integration and data exchange. The digital ID is managed by the Digital Government Center under the Ministry of Technology and Communications of Laos. Laos is getting support from Vietnam and Japan in the building of the digital ID management system. Vietnamese officials and experts have provided strategic advice while Japan is providing government funding and technical advice from companies like NEC, Ryobi Systems and J&C. |
