Foreign nationals who do not have a legal connection with Latvia and are unable to obtain a foreigner’s eID card, as well as users of the Electronic Customs Data Processing System (EMDAS) for submitting customs declarations, will still be permitted to access the State Revenue Service’s (SRS) Electronic Declaration System (EDS) with the username and password issued by the SRS after January 1, 2026.
For all other EDS users, access from January 1, 2026 will only be possible using one of the secure electronic identification tools: Smart-ID (qualified version), an electronic identification card (eID), a secure electronic signature (eParaksts or eParaksts mobile), or certain internet banking authentication methods.
