A question about number 4. By forwarding address, do you mean to a real email address? Denmark has a similar solution, but it can only be accessed via the website or a mobile application. The idea is that the content will almost always contain person information, so it shouldn't be allowed to be transmitted via an unencrypted channel.

Side note: Denmark has a one time pad instead of a smartcard. A smart phone app has since been added, and the one time pad will be discontinued in about a year, sadly.

I have been in Estonia for a few months and get my TRP recently. It's new to me. But I heard that it's the same. It's just a notification probably. Yet, the term "forwarding address" makes me think it can be something else. I did not get any email from there yet, so I don't know actually.

The PKI thing includes a physical ID card, a software solution called Smart-ID and a mobile solutions called Mobile ID. The software solutions are just authenticator apps that you've matched with your ID.
