eDO app

Poland

The eDO App is the official mobile application from Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych (PWPW), Poland's state security printing works, for confirming identity online with the Polish electronic identity card, known as the e-dowód. It lets people use their e-ID card without a separate card reader by reading the card's contactless chip through the phone's NFC antenna. It is aligned with the eIDAS Regulation and provides a substantial level of assurance.

What is eDO app?

The eDO App is the official mobile application from Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych (PWPW), Poland's state security printing works, for confirming identity online with the Polish electronic identity card, known as the e-dowód. It lets people use their e-ID card without a separate card reader by reading the card's contactless chip through the phone's NFC antenna. It is aligned with the eIDAS Regulation and provides a substantial level of assurance.

To verify, the person scans a QR code or enters a code shown by your service, then holds their e-dowód card against the phone. The app reads the CAN printed on the card and the contactless chip, and the customer authenticates and consents. Newer versions add a facial biometric check that compares a live image of the face against the photo held on the document.

On success the app returns government-held data from the card, such as name, date of birth, and the PESEL national identification number, with the person's consent. That verified result then flows into your Zenoo case.

How verification works

Person opens the eDO App

The customer scans the code shown by your service and holds their NFC-enabled e-dowód card against their phone. The app reads the card's CAN and contactless chip.

Authenticate and consent

The person confirms with their PIN or a facial biometric check, and consents to share the government data held on the card.

Signals returned to your flow

A verified result, government-held identity data such as name, date of birth, and PESEL, and a full audit record flow straight into your Zenoo case.

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify identity with the eDO App?

The person opens the eDO App, holds their NFC-enabled Polish e-dowód card against their phone, and authenticates with a PIN or a facial biometric check. The app reads the card's chip and returns government-held data such as name, date of birth, and PESEL to your service on the person's consent.

What is the e-dowód?

The e-dowód is Poland's electronic identity card. It carries a contactless chip that can be read over NFC, which lets the eDO App confirm identity and return verified government data without a separate card reader.

Do I need a card reader to use the eDO App?

No. The eDO App reads the e-dowód card through the phone's NFC antenna, so no external reader is needed. The person taps the card to the back of their phone and enters the card's CAN when prompted.

How does eDO App verification work with Zenoo?

It runs as a pre-built connector. The person authenticates in the eDO App and consents to share their card data, and Zenoo returns a verified result with the government-held fields and a full audit trail.
