Overview
What is Cyprus National eID?
Cyprus’s National eID, registered as IDMe.cy, is the country’s official electronic identity for proving who you are online and signing documents digitally. It operates under the supervision of the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, and citizens use it to access government and private services, typically through the CY Login portal. The scheme was notified under the EU eIDAS framework at a high assurance level, so it is recognised for cross-border use across EU member states.
A person authenticates with their activated CY Login profile and a second factor, confirming the identity linked to their record. When they do, the scheme confirms who they are and can return verified details such as name and date of birth. The customer proves their identity directly with their own eID credentials, so there is no document upload or selfie step.
