🇵🇹 Portugal
Portugal's identity ecosystem combines the smart-card Cartao de Cidadao with the mobile Chave Movel Digital, both notified under eIDAS at the high assurance level. Authentication is centralised through the state autenticacao.gov.pt platform.
The Cartao de Cidadao is Portugal's smart-card national identity document, consolidating into one card the former identity card, taxpayer, social security, health and voter registration documents. Its chip supports electronic authentication and qualified electronic signature. A new EU- and ICAO-compliant biometric model began issuance in June 2024.
