"It should be added that providing Ukrainians with reliable means of electronic identification facilitate the widespread electronic services. So far, electronic digital signature has been operating in Ukraine. Therefore, I would advise that all Ukrainians who do not yet have an EDS get it. The issuance of internal passports in the form of an ID-card with an electronic digital signature will begin this autumn. Mobile ID (SIM card with EDS) will be introduced in Ukraine by the end of the year," Groysman wrote on Facebook

As UNIAN reported earlier, head of the State Agency for e-Governance of Ukraine Oleksandr Ryzhenko believed that all Ukrainian citizens would have ID-cards and a digital signature in 3 to 5 years.
