Universal electronic cards of the citizen of Russia. Universal electronic map - what is it?

The universal electronic card in Russia (UEC) is a plastic card that combines a payment and identification facility. Its functions are multifaceted. With the help of UEC, you can order, pay, and then receive various public services. Also this card is both an insurance pension certificate and a medical policy.

Universal electronic map - what is it? This is additionally identification and bank cards, electronic wallet and signature, as well as a ticket.

History of the project

The beginning of the creation of UEK can be considered December 2009. It was at this time that a joint meeting of the Council, decisive issues for the development of the information society, and the State Council took place. On the agenda of this event, held under the leadership of D. Medvedev, there was the question of creating and introducing a convenient and simple means to identify a citizen of Russia in resolving his issues with government departments that would combine banking, social and payment functions.

Thus, the project "Universal Electronic Card" was released. In mid-2010, a federal legislative act "On the organization of the provision of state and municipal services" was adopted. In this document, the defining functions of the UEC were fixed.

In early 2011, the President of the Russian Federation instructed the government to determine the amount of funding that must be allocated from the budget to develop an appropriate legal and regulatory framework and the introduction of the UEC in the country.

The first batch of universal electronic plastic cards was released by the end of July 2012. Their circulation was six thousand copies. The points for issuing universal electronic cards opened their doors on January 1, 2013. A new payment instrument was issued only on applications of citizens. The novelty of the special excitement did not cause.

That is why the new party, which was released in October 2013, included only 120 thousand copies. This is quite a bit, because according to the initial plans, which were announced by OAO UEC (the authorized federal organization, operator and project coordinator), this figure should be equal to about 3.5 million. Such a number of identification and payment means units was decided to be issued in 2014. However, due to the unpreparedness of the infrastructure existing in the regions, and also because of the replacement of paper passports with plastic cards, the mass introduction of the universal electronic card was decided to be postponed for 2015-2016.

Foreign experience

Electronic documents, using which you can get commercial and public services, back in 2013, there were more than fifty countries around the world.

One of the first states that introduced identification cards was Singapore. In early 2000, residents of this country received electronic passports. The document along with the identity card contained a universal access key to the possibility of providing public services.

Such cards are also issued by Malaysia. They are both a banking and identification document, as well as a driver's license. This includes transport applications and medical information about the owner.

Biometric passports in Germany allow you to obtain the necessary access to commercial and public services, as well as to put an electronic signature on various documents.

ID-card was created in Estonia. This tool serves simultaneously as an identity card and a carrier of the electronic signature of its owner.

Also in many countries of the world electronic wallets are widely distributed. In most cases, they are attached to personalized plastic cards. This facility makes it possible to make payments for small amounts and to pay citizens transportation in public transport. Similar cards exist in Germany, Spain, Italy, Great Britain and Hong Kong.

Opinions about the project

Against the universal electronic card are some journalists and experts. In their remarks, they point out the problems that arise during the implementation of the project, skeptical about its complete completion. Some citizens are also distrustful of UEC, who are afraid of total accounting and control of their lives. In this connection, the question arises: "Is a universal electronic card mandatory for Russians?" No. Legislation does not oblige citizens to receive UEC.

The introduction of a universal electronic map also raises many other questions. So, some people are afraid that someone who does not receive UEC will be subject to certain legal discrimination.

The Church also spoke about the universal electronic card. For example, the Bishops' Council supported a progressive project, pointing out that the population's account in the era of electronics is not sinful. However, at the same time, the Church pointed out that UEK is a help in order to exercise total control over a person without any consent from him.
