Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber just called it the “biggest change ever” for his department, and for once, he might not be overselling it. The old Online Verification System (OVS), the tech that checks your details against the National Population Register, was a glitchy nightmare, failing half the time and sometimes taking a full day to reply with... the wrong info. The new system? A 99% success rate, lightning-fast responses, and a green light for rolling out smart ID and passport services to way more bank branches.
