Taiwan’s Ministry of the Interior is planning to integrate the chip-embedded national identification card and Citizen Digital Certificate, and equip the resulting card with an electronic purse to facilitate usage, interior minister Chen Wei-zen said Tuesday.
The integrated ID-citizen certificate card, being developed with an investment of NT$8 billion (US$248 million) is scheduled to begin circulating in 2017, Chen said.
The new card will also be designed to be used as an e-purse, but that function will be optional, he added.
