FiNT: Under this digital transformation initiative, Finnish authorities are pioneering digital passports to modernize international identification methods. This digital travel document (D.T.C.) possesses similar credentials as a standard physical passport. However, the information is stored electronically instead of a piece of paper. The measure is part of a more extensive project led by the European Commission to promote digital innovations for secure and efficient travel.
This pilot program will leverage Finnair’s flights to the U.K. as a testing ground for these digital passports. As such, Finnish authorities are contacting the public, inviting volunteers to participate in this groundbreaking trial.
The innovative scheme is set to run until February 2024, offering ample opportunity for participants to experience and contribute to developing this cutting-edge advancement in travel documentation. This test phase will provide valuable insights to the authorities to further enhance and refine the D.T.C. technology.
