e-Government integration

Platform — e-Government integration connects BORA to Estonian electronic identity — Mobile-ID, Smart-ID and Web-eID / ID-card — for strong, government-grade sign-in and signing, and reaches the state population, business and vehicle registries over X-Road.

BORA Systems is a ferry operations platform built in Tallinn, Estonia — 33 modules across 6 functional categories, each on its own microservice with a local API. Certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and GDPR-compliant. As of 2026, in daily service across three regions: the Baltic, the Channel Islands and the Persian Gulf.

01

What does it do?

e-Government integration is the bridge to Estonian electronic identity — Mobile-ID, Smart-ID and Web-eID / ID-card — so a user or passenger can authenticate and sign with a government-grade identity rather than just a password.

Because it uses national e-identity, an operator in Estonia gets strong authentication and legally recognised signing without building it, and Login & roles simply accepts the verified identity.

02

How does it work?

Choose

Mobile-ID, Smart-ID or Web-eID / ID-card.

Verify

The identity is verified against the national scheme.

Sign in

The verified identity authenticates or signs.

Accept

Login & roles accepts the verified identity.

Connect

The platform connects to X-Road, the state data-exchange layer.

Reach

Population, business and vehicle registers become reachable.

Authenticate

Each exchange is authenticated and logged to the X-Road standard.

Use

Verified registry data supports booking and boarding.

03

What does it connect to?

e-Government integration feeds Login & roles and is used wherever strong identity is required.

e-Government integration integrates with Estonian e-identity services (Mobile-ID, Smart-ID, Web-eID).

It also reaches Estonian state registries — population, business and vehicle — over X-Road, the state data-exchange layer, so a registry lookup is authenticated and logged to the national standard. Verified registry data feeds Vehicles and Customers & Agents.

04

What are its limits?

What it deliberately does not do:

  • e-Government integration provides Estonian e-identity; other countries' schemes are integrated separately where needed.
  • e-Government integration verifies identity; what that identity is allowed to do is Login & roles' job.
  • e-Government integration reaches the state registries an operator is authorised to query; it does not grant that authorisation.
05

Frequently asked questions

Which methods are supported?

Mobile-ID, Smart-ID and Web-eID / ID-card.

Is it government-grade?

Yes — it uses Estonia's national e-identity scheme.

Does it decide permissions?

No. It verifies identity; Login & roles grants rights.

What can it reach over X-Road?

Official registries such as population, business and vehicle registers, securely.

Is each registry lookup logged?

Yes, to the X-Road standard.

Is registry access unrestricted?

No. It is scoped to the registries an operator is entitled to query.
