People are increasingly choosing digital ID instead of paper ID

Since the beginning of 2026, residents of the Kursk region have issued 27 thousand digital IDs in the Max application. Among them are 13 thousand pensioners, 6 thousand citizens with disabilities and almost 8 thousand large families.

A digital ID replaces a paper document - it is enough to show it to confirm the right to benefits. Inside stored the most necessary: name, date of birth, SNILS and information about pension (type and term of appointment). And this format significantly simplifies the registration of social payments.

Adult citizens with a confirmed account on public services can obtain a certificate. It's simple

- on public services to give consent to release;

Go to the Max profile;

Open “Digital ID” and click “Create”.

The document will be pulled from the personal account automatically, and the QR code will appear in the application. If at some stage something did not work out - specialists of the SFR client service will come to the rescue.

The SFR office in the Kursk region explained that each document is a QR code. So that the data does not fall into the wrong hands, the encrypted picture changes every half a second - more precisely, every 30 seconds, and a screenshot of the system simply cannot be done. Entrance to Max from a computer is possible only after confirmation from the phone - so access of third parties is excluded.
