Malta eID

Malta

The Malta eID is the country’s national electronic identity, issued through the Identity Cards Unit and used to reach eGovernment services and to sign documents electronically. A person’s eID account is linked to their Maltese electronic identity card, so citizens and eResidence document holders can prove who they are online with a credential the state already recognises. Malta’s national electronic identity card is notified under the EU eIDAS framework at a high level of assurance.

What is Malta eID?

The Malta eID is the country’s national electronic identity, issued through the Identity Cards Unit and used to reach eGovernment services and to sign documents electronically. A person’s eID account is linked to their Maltese electronic identity card, so citizens and eResidence document holders can prove who they are online with a credential the state already recognises. Malta’s national electronic identity card is notified under the EU eIDAS framework at a high level of assurance.

Verification is based on the person’s eID account and Maltese identity card number, together with their credentials on the national identity portal. When someone authenticates, the scheme confirms the identity linked to that account and can return verified details such as the person’s name. The customer proves who they are directly with their existing eID credentials, so there is no document upload or selfie step.
