COVID certificate and other large NDEFs

Technically, all that is discussed in this thread is not only possible, it’s also completely trivial. The problem is relying on powers to decide that it’s a good enough idea to implement it nationwide or worldwide, enact it into law and turn it into a working infrastructure.

As of today, no nation has decided that implantable national IDs are a good idea - for obvious reasons - so no nation’s police, public service or hospital will accept one that you made yourself, even if it’s valid, for lack of the necessary scanning equipment or for lack of trust in your homemade ID.

Well done :slight_smile:

Next step: get the Finnish national authorities to enable this in the national app. If you live in another EU country and you want this too, do some sleuthing to figure out who is in charge of deciding this and contact them to plead your case.
