One action that protects access to documents
The user opens the app, and the update runs in the background. Short processing messages may appear on the screen, but nothing needs to be approved or additional steps taken.
The risk starts after August 5. If certificates expire, some documents may lose validity and require separate updates in their details. The mProof and Time‑Protection Document may also require re‑authentication by the National Node. Then a quick app launch turns into a full login path, through electronic banking, e‑proof or a trusted profile.
Before the deadline it is enough to launch the program; after the deadline the user may lose access to documents needed at the office, during ticket checks or other situations where instant identity confirmation matters.
Youngest users have more to lose
The update also covers students and children using mCitizen Junior. Some students must renew their e‑student card and will receive a notification. If the document requires reactivation, the student will need to go to the dean’s office for a new QR code, then add the card again to the phone.
A similar obligation applies to parents. The mCitizen Junior app must be opened before August 5. Failure to update can disable the child’s digital student card, and regaining access requires the guardian to generate a new QR code on the Integrated Educational Platform and scan it again in the app.
Two nights when it’s better to trust plastic
Before the cutoff date two maintenance windows are scheduled. The first will run from 8:00 PM on Saturday July 25 to 2:00 AM on Sunday July 26, 2026. The second will occur at the same hours on the night of August 1–2.
During the work some services may run slower or become intermittently unavailable.
