Helsinki, 16 October, 2002 (Esmerk) — The Finnish Population Register Centre is preparing a future electronic identification, possibly available in spring 2003. The mobile phone identification will be combined with the SIM card of a mobile phone, and it can be used for electronic signature. The project aims at enhancing electronic services and trade.
------------------------------------------------------------
Operators will also start to offer mobile phone identification. The state of Finland and private companies aim at extensive usage of different identification systems in federal and private on-line services.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Population Register Centre will publish its project towards the end of 2003. Chief manager Ritva Viljanen says that mobile phone identification will become more common the more benefits it presents. There has to be enough usage for the system.
