Prime Minister Mitsotakis is holding a meeting today to discuss integrating a personal identification number into the new digital police ID cards, which is a key part of the government's digital agenda.
The meeting, set for 10 a.m. at the Maximos Mansion, will include the Minister of Digital Governance and the Minister for Citizen Protection.
The focus will be on coordinating the integration of the personal citizen number — a unique identifier for each individual — into the newly designed national ID system.
The personal number, which aims to replace multiple identifiers across public services, is intended to streamline bureaucratic processes, enhance data security, and improve service delivery for citizens.
The rollout of Greece’s new police ID cards has been a flagship initiative of the Mitsotakis government, but it has also drawn criticism from some opposition parties and privacy advocates.
Monday’s meeting signals a push to ensure the project stays on schedule and meets legal and technical requirements ahead of its anticipated launch.
Further announcements on the timeline and public rollout are expected following the meeting.
