The total number of queries for validity confirmation services per year exceeded 100 million for the first time – this was significantly helped by the inquiries mediated in Lithuania. By the end of the year, over 130 million digital signatures had been given.

Over 300,000 ID-cards were issued in the year and slightly over 40,000 were renewed. By the end of the year, there were 40,000 Mobile-ID users in Estonia. Statistics show that 616,130 persons in Estonia actually used electronic identities by the end of the year; the active users totalled 409,056.

We also placed great emphasis on the development of internal services and programmes, in order to ensure a smooth and steady service to DigiDoc software users and e-services providers. We updated end-user ID-card software, started the transfer of clients to a new Mobile-ID service platform, closed the openxades.org test environment and directed the services for developers to id.ee website.
