台灣自 2015 年起再次啟動全面換發數位身分證的計畫，這是政府在 1998 年及 2005 年後，第三次正式啟動與數位身分的計畫。
本次製作數位身分證的政策自 2015 年發起至今歷經了多次修正。目前最新的計畫，是政府預計將現有的身分證結合自然人憑證，製作成新式數位晶片身分證，並預計於 2021年 1 月於澎湖縣、新竹市、新北市板橋區及永和區試辦， 2021 年 7 月開始全面換發（此文撰於 2020/11，12 月時四區已退出試辦，且換發暫緩）。

Following the release of previous part, this article will look at the non-mandatory implementation of digital and mobile ID via smart devices in Singapore and South Korea, as well as the transition to the use of eIDs in Taiwan. By comparing and contrasting the digital ID experiences in these Asian countries, we hope to identify areas that Taiwan can learn from to improve its digital ID experience when it is rolled out next year.
Singapore’s National Digital Identity Initiative has seen the launching of the Singapore Personal Access (SingPass) Mobile application in 2018. The SingPass Mobile app, which users may access via a 6-digit passcode or biometrically through fingerprint or facial recognition, is a one-stop portal that allows users to access various government services such as MyTax, Singapore’s online tax portal.

All residents in Japan including foreign nationals are issued a unique 12-digit Social Security and Tax Number affectionately known as ‘My Number’. Residents may request for a physical My Number Card to access various online administrative services, such as Japan’s online tax portal e-Tax. The card contains photo identification and an IC chip for online identification.

The digital revolution in the last half-decade has made digital life a new norm, and many countries are joining a growing number of people in transitioning into a ‘walletless’ future. First there was contactless payment, which allows users to pay through their mobile devices. Now, electronic and digital forms of identification are taking the world by storm. Gone are the days where we had to fumble through card after card to finally reach for the right one. Now, all our essential information is available at our fingertips with just a single card or smart device in hand.
