Accepted: all of our documents will be a card in Hungary

According to mfor.hu, the Parliament adopted the legislative amendments required for the introduction of e-card.

The new document – which will merge the ID card, residence card, tax card, social security card and the passport, and can be extended with discount cards for transport, and it also can function as a student card – will be introduced in an upward system this year.

The cornerstone of the amendment was adopted by 150 yes, 13 no votes and 30 abstentions, while the other paragraphs got 151 yes and 42 no votes.

The change lays down the scope of the data of the e-card. In addition, there will be the period of validity, date and place of issue and that which authority issued it and – in a non-readable form – the fact that the owner’s travel to abroad is limited.

The readable data store of the card – except the people of under12 and those who refuse the record – contains fingerprints and it is suitable for electronic administration, electronic signature, mfor.hu said.
