Revocation of ID card certificates
If you do not wish to use your ID card to access e-services or for digital signing, you may elect to have the certificates revoked. The document will remain valid as an identity document until its expiration date, and you can continue to use it as a customer loyalty card. If you later decide to use e-services and digital signing, you must apply for a new document.
