The 'citizen card' and a mobile phone signature allow for a secure and authentic electronic signature. A person may officially sign documents via authentication by smartphone app or via a dedicated website. This qualified electronic signature has the same effect as a handwritten signature by law.1
Even non-Austrian citizens can benefit from the electronic citizen card and mobile phone signature, if they are Austrian citizens. The citizen card can be obtained and the mobile phone signature can be activated in a number of ways; for example, through the Austrian tax authorities' online tool or through certain Austrian banks or authorities acting as registrars.1
Furthermore, the functionality of the citizen card has been extended under the 'ID Austria' brand. At least within Austria, ID Austria also serves as a limited digital ID card.1
