Chave Móvel Digital (CMD), which translates as Digital Mobile Key, is Portugal’s official mobile electronic identity, operated by the Agência para a Modernização Administrativa (AMA). It links a person’s mobile number to their citizen identity and gives them a single trusted login for government and private services. CMD is notified under the EU eIDAS regulation at the high level of assurance, so it is also recognised for cross-border use across the European Union.

Authentication does not need a card reader. The person enters their mobile number or email together with a PIN they chose when they set up CMD, then confirms with a one-time code sent to their phone. On consent, verified attributes held against their citizen record can be shared, including civil identification number, name, date of birth, address, and citizen card validity date.
Because CMD is a two-factor login rather than a document scan, the customer proves who they are by authenticating with the state service. A verified result and the shared attributes then flow back into your onboarding flow.

AMA returns government-verified fields such as name, date of birth, address, and civil identification number once the person consents to share them.
A verified result, the shared attributes, and a full audit record flow straight into your Zenoo case.
Chain these into one Zenoo Studio flow so a single journey handles identity, screening, and fraud.

No. CMD is Portugal’s official state electronic identity and is widely used across government services, but it is not compulsory for private-sector transactions. People can also use the Citizen Card as an alternative.
It runs as a pre-built connector. The person authenticates with CMD and consents to share their attributes, and Zenoo returns a verified result with a full audit trail.
