PETALING JAYA: The government will introduce a digital identity (digital ID) for use in online services and transactions, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

“The digital ID will be a form of digital identification and authentication for individuals, using the latest biometric technology such as fingerprint, facial and iris recognition when they conduct matters online.Hamzah said the digital ID, which is expected to be implemented in 2024, will not replace the MyKad as an identification document.

Hamzah said the Home Ministry and the NRD had been entrusted to lead this initiative as population data and records are under the custody and jurisdiction of the NRD. “It doesn’t only help to smoothen the process involved – what is more important is that it is able to confidence in the government’s service delivery system,” he added.

He added that the system would enable online death verification, thus speeding up the registration and issuance of death certificates. “If we find that they have died based on confirmation from their heirs or certain parties, then the NRD will register their death in accordance with legal provisions,” he added.
