MojeID service operated by CZ.NIC, the Czech national domain administrator, was granted accreditation at the guarantee level “high” by the Ministry of the Interior. This security class, which is the highest, requires the use of a user password and a FIDO2 security key with a PIN, which is based on a certified platform and at the same time has FIDO certification at the minimum level of L2. For example, IdemKey by GoTrustID currently meets this condition, and it can be assumed that due to the openness of the entire system, more tools meeting these conditions will become available.

MojeID has been operated by CZ.NIC for over 10 years and it currently has over 700,000 user accounts with over 10,000 of them connected to the National Identification Authority (NIA). NIA enables these mojeID users to obtain an electronic extract from the driver’s penalty point record or criminal record, an overview of current and past e-prescriptions or a personal pension insurance sheet. MojeID is also a secure tool for the communication of users with their health insurance company or tax office.

“MojeID is a trusted service that has brought people a simple, modern and safe tool, and which has now been accredited at the highest level. In addition to state services, mojeID can also be used to access commercial services, which can access mojeID much more easily than a banking identity,” said Ondřej Filip, the CEO of CZ.NIC, the mojeID operator.

“I am glad that mojeID has fulfilled the conditions for the guarantee level “high”,” says Roman Vrba, Director of the eGovernment Department of the Ministry of the Interior, adding: “A secure electronic identity is the cornerstone of e-government services and the Ministry of the Interior wholeheartedly approves the CZ.NIC activities aimed at supporting and developing the environment for the Czech e-government.”

There, you can also find instructions on how to activate access to governmental services in mojeID, the list of entities you can contact electronically or the physical security keys you can use and where to obtain them.
