Bulgarian ID Card Named Best in Europe
At this year’s High Security Printing EMEA-2025 conference in Basel, Switzerland, the Bulgarian ID card was awarded first place as the best ID card in Europe for 2024
The Supreme Administrative Court has ruled that fingerprint identification in hospitals is not valid.
The decision of the three-member court was taken on Tuesday and fingerprint identification is terminated until the final ruling, reported BGNES.
The supreme magistrates ruled: “It is obvious in this case that the introduction of fingerprint identification, instead of a document which contains information about the health data of persons and grants access to the data in a virtual environment (an electronic health ID), complicates trans-border legitimisation. This contradicts EU legislation since it is aimed at unifying the type of identification in order to ensure movement, security and medical assistance in EU countries.”
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry announced that they will appeal the decision.
