Modern Times - eID
Today I can consider myself a modern citizen. And not because I just visited a horse milker (indeed!). But because I am now the proud owner of an electronic identity card or eID. The Belgian government has been issuing these for the past years and withing a few years more everyone will have a plastic bankcard-size identity card with a chip (a smart card).I also tried to download the Identity Card Runtime 2.6 program from the eID website, but my Aldi Medion computer card reader gives an error.
The eID can be used to declare taxes and for some local municipal applications at present, but when everyone has one, a lot of applications will be developed for it. I was already thinking I would be the last Belgian without one...
