eID Options for Latvian Citizens
Every Latvian citizen receives an eID card (Personas apliecība / eID Karte). It supports browser-based authentication, provides name + national ID code, and is legally recognized across all EU countries (notified eID). The eID card enables Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) — stronger than handwritten signatures. They prove who signed, when it was signed, and cannot be faked.
Other eSignature Tools in Latvia
eParaksts Mobile – Government-issued app, no smart card needed, uses fingerprint biometrics, works via OAuth 2.0 for auth + signatures.
Smart-ID – Another mobile QES method, widely used across the Baltics.
Why eID Easy?
Integrating all these secure, certified options manually can take weeks and expensive cryptography experts. eID Easy simplifies everything: one integration, all major Latvian eID and QES methods, go live in minutes.
