Since the inception of the digital identity platform "eID.li," Liechtenstein has marked significant achievements. The platform, which provides citizens with easy access to various administrative services, has become essential, particularly during the challenges posed by the pandemic. eID.li was able to integrate the international vaccination passport, proving its adaptability and usefulness to users. The acknowledgement from the EU stands as a testament to the platform's capabilities, paving the way for even broader applications.
