There have been more than five years of development with the promise that we could transport the identity card on the phone. And we already have it with us: Midni is the application intended for the task. It works properly, allows you to choose the information we show and even Read the identifier of others. Who does not convince you that your data is used? You can erase your virtual identifier.
Since the identity card is an extremely sensitive document, the national police created a specific process to take it practically on the phone. Midni requires a record, whenever we teach DNI the application You must connect to the police servers And the same thing happens when we read that of another person. All this data transfer can only occur if there is an internet connection; It will therefore always be practical if you have to identify yourself and simply have the smartphone.
