Just got my card today and managed by some fluke to activate it by randomly picking some of the links above. Note the “subscriber code” you need is on the piece of paper you got after applying, it’s the code below your email address, the 用戶代碼

5 years and you can extend the period once (3 years plus).
Total is 8 years.

Got one but cannot initialize it as I only have Linux and the phone people said there are no local offices I can bring the card to…

I’ve never commented on a blog before, but I’m so stupidly grateful for the patience you put into this. I’d never heard of the Citizen Digital Certificate before the health authorities needed something that needed one. Suffice to say, the system works no better now, a year later, and the people on the phone are rather surly. If I were taking the heat for this dog’s breakfast, I’d probably be surly, too.

In reply to Nathan KAISER.

Thanks for introducing Yubikey and other security tech to me a couple of years back, got me thinking about a lot of these topics – and wouldn’t be surprised if the solution to these kinds of services is in those areas somewhere :)

Also, we talked about the Estonian e-Residency and other similar initiatives too, I wonder how does that work, and would it provide some insights of doing it well…

Thanks Greg for all of this, and you really beat anyone to the punch. Clearly, you are the first person to do this. Now, it seems like the government needs to update pretty much everything and makes this an 80% rather than a 20% solution.

I will pass this on, and hope the new administration can fix this …. sooner than later.

Thanks!
