🇮🇱 Israel
Israel operates a compulsory national identity system built around the biometric Teudat Zehut smart ID card issued by the Population and Immigration Authority, with citizen-facing digital identity delivered through the national login system and the MyGov and Gov.ID apps.
The Teudat Zehut Biometric Smart ID is Israel's compulsory national identity card, issued from age 16. It carries an embedded chip storing a facial image and fingerprints, became the only ID type issued from June 2017, and serves as the master credential for in-person identification and online government authentication.

Users authenticate with OTP codes, passwords or the high-assurance biometric smart ID card, including by tapping it to a phone via NFC.
