Promotion of electronic licences in road traffic

The measure is intended to promote the use of electronic IDs in road traffic. The first step is the electronic driving licence. Licence holders should retain control over their own data. This is to be achieved by offering electronic driving licences as a ‘credential’ in the Confederation's trustworthy ecosystem and data space together with the federal wallet. This benefits Digital Switzerland because it allows official business to be conducted electronically and securely, while at the same time promoting digital services from the private sector.
