Digital citizenship: life to change in Hungary from 2026
Change language:
A new scheme dubbed Digital Citizenship (DAP) will bring about an unprecedented transformation for Hungarian citizens in digital data handling at the end of next year, the head of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Office said on Friday.
Antal Rogán told journalists that in the initial phase the programme will enable personal identification, electronic signature and conducting a part of personal business for citizens by using their mobile phones. The DAP will later ensure them a safe digital access and use of state and market services and the payment of public utility bills.
A trial period for the app will start in April with the involvement of several tens of thousands of users and launched for citizens across the board in September. From this time, the DAP can be used for full identification if requested by police, submitting applications to authorities for certificates or conducting the most common personal businesses, Rogán said.
Another way to be tracked and monitored, as well as “un-personed” if you fall foul of Big Government and its minions. Bad.
More state control, just what we need. The Communists would adore this.
