The unmissable plans in countries that you can enter only with your digital ID: pack your suitcase

The digital ID has changed the way Colombians can travel through South America. This document not only facilitates immigration procedures, but also opens the doors to a series of fascinating destinations without the need for a passport, according to the Registry. Since its implementation, the digital ID has made it possible to enjoy greater comfort and security when traveling.

Among the most notable benefits are the impossibility of falsification or adulteration, biometric identification and authentication, and protection of personal data.

Traveling with a digital ID offers a series of advantages. Firstly, it eliminates the need to carry a passport, which simplifies entry and exit procedures in the member countries of the Andean Community of Nations (CAN) and the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). This not only reduces waiting time at immigration controls, but also reduces the risk of loss or theft of important documents.

Another key benefit is biometric authentication, which guarantees that only the holder of the document can use it, thus preventing identity theft or theft. This feature is especially useful in emergency situations, where quick and accurate identity verification can be crucial. Likewise, the digital ID generates confidence in the procedures and services of public and private entities, since it ensures the protection of personal data and the integrity of the information.

In addition, the digital ID allows non-face-to-face identification in procedures through the web, which facilitates the management of services and the completion of transactions quickly and safely.
