The UEC card provides identification of its holder to get them access to state and municipal services and services of other organizations, obtaining state services in the compulsory health insurance system (for example, making an appointment to see a doctor), compulsory pension insurance (for example, receiving information about the state of an individual person). accounts in the Pension Fund of Russia), obtaining banking services.
The following information is printed on the surface of the UEC map: citizen, gender, date of birth, signature sample, photo, card number, number of the policy of compulsory medical insurance, insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance.
From January 1, 2013, the card will be issued to citizens of Russia upon request, and from January 1, 2014, to all citizens of Russia, except those who refused in writing.
Quotes from an interview with the president of the federal authorized organization Universal Electronic Card Alexei Popov:
')
Will it be possible to start the system from the first of January?
Alexey Popov: There are bearded myths about the universal electronic map. The first is just that the timeline can postpone. For example, due to the fact that regions are not ready to work with the map. I can say for sure: no one is going to change anything. There is a law, it says that from January 1, 2013 in Russia the issuance of electronic cards begins for those residents of the country who have written applications for UEC. And a year later - the rest. That will be so. We are monitoring the readiness of the regions to launch the project. New data are posted every week on Mondays on the portal
www.uecard.ru . I take this opportunity to ask the regional media to work more actively with this information.
What services will be available?
Alexey Popov: All those that residents of the country now receive in state and municipal departments. With the card, you can pay taxes and fines, get a passport and other documents. The simplest thing - from January 1, you can register in your account on the regional portal of public services. Now for this you have to fill out a form with personal data, wait for the login and password to be sent by mail ... Everything is easier with UEC Since the digital signature is already “secured” in it, registration in the personal account will occur automatically.
Another example is maternal capital. With the help of the UEC, it will be possible to get it without a single visit to the social security agencies. A person, using a universal card, enters the portal of regional public services, fills in the necessary forms, certifies them with a qualified electronic signature, which is also recorded on the UEC, and receives money into his bank account. In the Volgograd region maternity capital in this way is already issued.
From April 1, 2013, the card can be used instead of a ticket for travel in transport. True, the first time only on test routes.
How personal information will be on the card, if it was not there when issuing it?
Alexey Popov: Suppose a person passed the exam in the traffic police. He inserts the UEC in any bank terminal and information about the rights acquired is immediately recorded on the card. To avoid abuse, we make a request to the traffic police, and if they confirm that the rights are really granted, the information is finally entered on the "plastic".
